Statistical resources that are used for researching and revealing assimilation processes among various nationalities are analyzed in the work. The work is current because ethnical aspects of demographic development of Russia are not researched in progress. Therefore, historians, ethnologists, demographers, and also representatives of the government pay much attention to their results. The order of the first statistical indexes, content of programming schedules, places of theircurrent reservation, skills and ways for information collection, authenticity of the described resources are analyzed in the paper. Four points according to which the assessment can be made are revealed. Two of them can be included into All-Union Census and two others are found in the current population statistics. The materials that are collected according to answers to questions about a native language and also data about a share of mixed families are census. Information that is a basis for revealing a share of born children whose parents had another nationality is represented in the current population statistics. The data about a number of mixed ethnical marriages are another statistical resource.
