metadata.value: The results of the 2021 population census showed a sharp and significant decrease in the
  number of Finno-Ugric peoples in Russia. For example, the number of Karelians decreased by
  46.7 %, Komi-Permyaks — by 41 %, Mordovians — by 35 % (in 1939, the number of Mordovians
  was 1375 thousand people, in 2021 — 484 thousand). Between the 2002 and 2010 censuses
  there was also a large-scale decline in the number of Finno-Ugric peoples, which allowed some
  local ethnic activists to talk about a “demographic catastrophe”, “extinction of peoples”. The idea
  of “extinction” began to be actively exploited at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s and became the
  basis for the formation of ethno-national movements, the programs of which were built on the
  concept of “the revival of peoples”. In Komi, the Committee for the Revival of the Komi People
  was created, in Mordovia, the society “Velmena” (“Revival”) arose. The leaders of ethnic and
  ethno-political organizations strove to act not only as culturetragers, but also as moral censors
  not only for their own ethnic groups, but also for regional communities as a whole. But their
  mission failed, because ethnic entrepreneurs not only failed to become leaders of public opinion
  in the regions inhabited by the Finno-Ugric peoples, but turned out to be incapable of developing
  effective programs for ethno-cultural development, which was shown by the results of the census.
  In addition, the census showed that the transformation of the Finno-Ugric ethnic groups from
  agrarian to urban ethnic groups leads to an obvious strengthening of the processes of individual
  integration into the host urban communities, in which the Russians are the dominant group, and
  the Russian language dominates in all spheres of communication.
