There are many other multiethnic countries around the world, but the big differentiator between them is how they got to be that way, through conquest or migration. You have countries in Europe and the Americas that are only multiethnic because of immigrants and then you have China, Russia, etc. that are almost exclusively multiethnic because they own other people, basically as slaves.
Growing up in St Petersburg/Leningrad I thought I was Russian, like everyone else, but I absolutely wasn’t. I was a very persecuted minority because my parents’ passport didn’t say “Русский”. I was constantly beaten by groups of classmates for being “a jew” and no one, not even school staff, wanted to stand up for me. They all ignored it. My parents couldn’t be promoted in their careers past low management. Sure, we were treated equally by those who didn’t know… until they knew. Russia isn’t just a very racist culture. It’s just a very bigoted culture. Bigotry of every kind is tolerated there.
