The Russian minority in Poland consists of 13,000 people (according to the Polish census of 2011, page 92).[1]
In the past – the times of the Second Polish Republic, partitions of Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth – the number of Russians within Polish borders was much higher, over 100,000. Changing borders (see territorial changes of Poland) and forced resettlement after World War II drastically reduced this number.[citation needed]
One of the most defining cultural characteristics of that minority is their Eastern Orthodox faith.[citation needed]
