The Russian speaking population weren't just immigrants though, those were people born in Ukraine who spoke Russian as their native language. Kinda different.
Some definitely, but not all. And it's multigenerational too. The USSR moved people around a lot too for demographic control to minimize separatist tendencies.
Are you claiming that a Russian speaking person born in Ukraine is actually a Russian immigrant if their grandparents are from Russia?
