According to <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/directory.bml" rel="nofollow">their records</a>, some 3000 users claim to be based in Kazakhstan. No doubt there are many more who don't list their location, so 16,000 is not implausible. I'd be interested to know where the figure comes from, though.

KUB, unfortunately, didn't publish the links, but hopefully, people read the post here as well. As for the numbers, I took the liberty to quote LJ user megakhuimyak, who has found LJs according to the region and communities. Again, these numbers are not 100% true, and they can only be checked by surveys I guess, and even then not all people would say they are keeping onilne diaries. Thanks for your comment!
