Page "Ainu people" Paragraph 18

The North Kuril Ainu of Zaporozhye are currently the largest Ainu subgroup in Russia.

The Nakamura clan ( South Kuril Ainu on their paternal side ) are the smallest and numbers just 6 people residing in Petropavlovsk.

On Sakhalin island, there are a few dozen people who identify themselves as Sakhalin Ainu, but many more with partial Ainu ancestry do not acknowledge it.

Most of the 888 Japanese people living in Russia ( 2010 Census ) are of mixed Japanese-Ainu ancestry, although they do not acknowledge it ( full Japanese ancestry gives them the right of visa-free entry to Japan ).

Similarly, no one identifies themselves as Amur Valley Ainu, although people with partial descent can be found in Khabarovsk.

It is believed that there are no remaining living descendants of the Kamchatka Ainu.
