The most numerous are Russian (3.83%) and Polish (0.22%) ethnic minorities. The Oblast has a rich historical and cultural heritage. Jewish and Polish minorities have the largest number of preserved cultural heritage objects of ethnic minorities, mostly sacred buildings and palaces. It was found that the main centers of cultural heritage of ethnic minorities of the Oblast are the cities of Vinnytsia, Illintsi, Zhmerynka, Bar, Brailiv, Khmilnyk, Mogyliv-Podilsky, Sharhorod et al.
