Rus Borisi (Russian: Русские Борисы; Armenian: Ռուս Պարիս) is a village and municipality in the Goranboy District of Azerbaijan.
The village was founded in 1842, according to some sources[2] or in 1893, according to others,[1] by a group of Spiritual Christian Molokan settlers originally from central Russia.
Even though Rus Borisi, similarly to the Azeri villages of the region, remained unaffected by the military actions,[3][4] the political and economic hardships forced a significant portion of the population of the village to leave for Russia.
Beginning in 1994, the village was increasingly populated by ethnic Azeris, mainly internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh region.
[5] In 2009, the population of Rus Borisi numbered about 500 persons, of whom only 83 were Russians, consisting mainly of middle-aged and elderly people.
