1911 data on tatars are outdated, especially population and other numeric data. Anybody has newer sources?

Kazafi Tatars - I believe this name is not used anymore, Kazan Tatars is more common.

Kalmucks - Kalmyk is more common spelling.

  • Erivan - modern spelling Yerevan
  • Tiflis - modern spelling Tbilisi
  • Kutais - modern spelling Kutaisi

Very far from scientific. Mixes Russian popular designations with proper group identification. Laden with crypto Eurocentrism. Arbitrarily disowning Mongol heritage and propagating baseless pan-Turkism. Lacking actual references of personalities, events and very subjective.
