The USSR, especially under Stalin, managed to break up a lot of 'troublesome' ethnicities/minorities/nationalities through deportation, relocation and settling less 'troublesome' nationalities (i.e. Russians) in the area. Imperial Russia also did things like this, but it was more effective under the USSR.
Basically, I want to know what kind of demographics Russia had before the Revolution. I'd like to get sources if possible. Maps would be nice, but aren't necessary.
