There are approximately 18,000 Russian Cypriots living in Cyprus, according to government statistics, many of them in Limassol and are citizens of Cyprus.[1] Some estimates put the number as high as 40,000 considering all residents of Russian background.
Russian Cypriots are a minority group on the island. However, almost all of them arrived to or were born in Cyprus (of full or partial Russian origin) following the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, which occurred after the writing of the Constitution of Cyprus, so they are not afforded the same constitutional privileges as other smaller minority groups like Armenian Cypriots, Maronite Cypriots and Roman Catholic Cypriots.
