There has been a substantial population since the 19th century of Russian Kazakhstanis, or simply Russian Kazakhs, who are ethnic Russians living as citizens in Kazakhstan. Russians formed a plurality of the Kazakh SSR's population for several decades.[4] Although their numbers have been reduced since the breakup of the Soviet Union, they remain prominent in Kazakh society today.
