Ukrainians under "Notable people" section
I have no opinion on this (nor do I have enough knowledge of all the details of Russian ethnic identity in diaspora to contribute intelligently to any discussion), but I suspect others may find it a point of contention whether or not the descendants of Jewish immigrants from Ukraine which added should be considered Russian for purposes of this article. So if there's anything to discuss on this point, please discuss it here. cab (talk) 10:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Content removed
I've removed the following content which is not cited to reliable sources or which is not supported by the sources it cites.

The following statement was cited to, which does not support it at all:
 * Many descendants of Russians are in the largest cities in Chile following the phenomenon of urbanization where Russian surnames mesclan between different origins and descendants of each region.

This part has to be wrong and wasn't cited to any source at all. We already have it cited that the first Russian immigrants came in 1854:
 * The Russian immigrants first arrived in Chile in the area of La Florida in the first period of the colonization of this region (1883-1901) and arrived just over 250 families, also, to Chiloé, 100 families arrived at the port of Ancud, after that, they came away most of the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War, and the World Wars, and recently by the disintegration of the former USSR.

Finally, there are definitely not 70,000 Russians in Chile; that figure was taken from the Voice of Russia article, but that number is for all people of Orthodox faith --- meaning Greeks, Arabs, and Ukrainians, not just Russians. Thanks, cab (talk) 10:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
