"What passport do you hold" seems to deny the existence of post-soviet states and Russia. Are they tucked under "other european"? Same for tweets maps.

Well, Turkey is included in Europe even though most of it is in Asia, so Russia should be included under Europe too. Unless the number is so insignificant that it's just bundled with "Other Europe".

  Well, Lithuania is listed directly, Estonia and Latvia are probably in "Other EU New Members", Ukraine, Russia and Belarus are probably in "Other Europe", Kazakhstan & co are probably in "Central Asia". My guess is that they selected some of those groups to prove a point. I doubt that there are more Romanians (3000) than Russians (presumably part of the 55000-strong "Other Europe" group).

      To be honest in those Excel files they provide I don't see more info. I mean there's no breakdown by country except for something like the top 10 countries. But I don't see Romania or Russia (for example) in them.

    This different dataset puts the Russian nationals resident in London as in 2011 at 15,000 +/- 4000 (no indication of how dual nationals are treated) http://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/population-nationality/resource/6fb7c2dc-b866-4381-9d43-36517ae16627 http://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/population-nationality/res... The Russian population probably is included in "Other Europe" but probably isn't as big as people think based on the spending power of a Russian minority in Belgravia...

They're relatively few outside of the City and Canary Wharf. Baltics are significant and they're listed.
