Vyborgians

Vyborgians are the inhabitants of Vyborg, a city located in the Vyborgsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Historically, the city's population has been diverse due to its strategic location and changing political control. Vyborg has been part of Sweden, Russia, and Finland throughout its history, each period influencing the ethnic and cultural makeup of its residents.

In modern times, the majority of Vyborgians are ethnic Russians. However, the city's past also means that there are descendants of people from other national backgrounds who have long-standing connections to Vyborg. The cultural identity of Vyborgians is shaped by this complex history, blending Russian traditions with influences from its periods under Swedish and Finnish rule. This is often reflected in local customs, cuisine, and even the architecture of the city.

The economy of Vyborg, and therefore the lives of its Vyborgian residents, has traditionally been linked to its port and industrial activities. The city's proximity to the border with Finland also plays a role in its current economic and social landscape. Like many residents of Russian cities, Vyborgians are engaged in various professions, contributing to the local economy and community life.
