[edit] What's the correct number of members of Krymchaks today?

This article says "about a thousand [Krymchak people] remain in Crimea". The article Krymchaks says that as of the year 2000, there were 2,500 Krymchak people in the former Soviet Union. It's possible that both statements are correct. --Mathew5000 09:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

According to the last Soviet census in 1989 there were 1448 Krymchaks in the USSR, 604 of whom lived in Crimea. Since then some of them emigrated to Israel.
According to Ukrainian census of 2001 there were 406 Krymchaks in Ukraine, 284 of whom in Crimea. But members of the Krymchak national association insist that there are more than a 1,000 of them in Ukraine.
