Note: Many long-term residents in Ukraine who
are counted as "foreign born" today were born in other republics of the
former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) before it ceased to exist as
one unified country in 1991. Therefore, the number of foreign born in contemporary
Ukraine may reflect the country's changed geopolitical status rather than
its immigration trends. The former USSR included 15 countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova,
Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
