Not to mention in their own respective regions, the
Kazaks
Uzbekis
Krygs (i'm not sure that is how you pronounce their name)
Tajiks
and the majority were Slavs.

Russia today, which is considerably smaller than the Tsarist Russian empire, still has over 100 languages spoken within its borders. A quick Google search turns up a few sites that list some of the larger nationalities (link here) but remember that the Urals, Central Asia, Transcaucasia and Siberia were cradles for so many peoples; the lists of languages spoken there is almost endless...

Russia from yesteryear, ie, pre 1900's would have been a great place to inspect, providing you weren't a serf...

My user name is the Russian word for Constantinople.

Could probably ad Turks to the list aswell / Armenians / Georgians no doubt some Finns aswell

The inhabbitants of Kumchatka are also of a different nationality, they are related to the amerindians.

The Baltic Germans as well, inhabitants of areas annexed by Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries. Germans were very prominent in the Tsarist armies and government. Many of those were Baltic Germans, but included many from Germany attracted by the opportunities for educated westerners.

Go East, Young Man.

So what happen to these Baltic Germans when the Soviet Union
fell apart?

if you mean the ones in the small enclave Russia stil has that is surrounded by non-Russian countries (im talking about the Kaliningrad Oblast), then the answer is that they were forced to move back to Germany-proper after the end of World War II. That area used to be East Prussia before WW2 and then it was partitioned between the USSR and Poland - Poland got the southern [roughly] 75% and USSR got the remaining northern rump, which included Konigsberg, the capital of East Prussia. The city was renamed by the Russians to Kaliningrad and Soviet former East Prussia became the Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Republic of the USSR.

i read something there was a group of German living in the Volga rive area?

Germans settled alot of lands in what is now the Baltic Republics, Poland,Czech Republic, and parts of the old USSR. I understand alot got purged by Stalin and the rest shipped back to Germany after WW2. Something like 16 million people migrated westwards in 45-46 or so.
