Re: [Cz-L] Re: People from Storozhinets

Based on the Ethnographic map of the Bucovina from 1930, which itself is
based on the census of 1930, I calculated the the size of the population of
Strojinet.

According to my calculations, there were at that time in Strojinet:

3 500 Romanians
2 500 Jews
 1000 Poles
 1000 Ukrainians (including Hutzuls)
  500 Germans
  500 Russians (Including Lipovaner)

In total 9 000 people. At the same time Czernowitz had a population of about
100 000 people, of which about 40 000 were Jewish.
