Ukraine and Belarus are not Russia :)

EDIT: Usually Eastern and Central Europe are "forgotten" in these surveys and statistics...

Isn't it about languages, not countries?

When it's about languages, you count language users.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think majority of Ukraine and Belarus people speak russian only as a second language.

So we then we should count ukrainians and belorussians separately.

Russian is also an official language in Belarus, so you should count them in. Ukraine is a different story.

You're wrong:

If we're counting this by language, we should figure out how much Ukrainians (or Belorusians) use internet in russian language, primary, and how much don't; and then we should sum up those numbers. Everything else would be a speculation.
