Russian Chileans form a minor part of the Russian diaspora and a small group in comparison to the other ethnic groups in Chile. The 2002 Chilean Census reported 638 Russian citizens,[1] although Russia's government estimates that 1,300 Russians live in Chile.[citation needed] There are more than 70,000 Orthodox Christians in Chile, the majority of them of Russian or Greek origin.[citation needed] Also, a significant amount of Russian Jews arrived in Chile during the 20th century.
