		The largest peoples (more than 1-2 million) were given Soviet republics (but only if they bordered on the national border of the Soviet Union), the medium groups (100,000 - 1 million) were given their own autonomous republics, and the smaller groups (20,000 - 100,000) were given autonomous areas.
