National pride in Ukraine by region and home language

I dislike the tendency to have opinions on topics by recycling cliches and superficial data in circulation. After all there are free and useful resources such as the World Values Survey. There is a question within it that asks “How proud of nationality” one is. The results below are from a survey taken in 2006. The home language and regional difference are obvious.

Demographic Category	N	Very Proud	Quite Proud	Not Very Proud	Not Proud At All
Russian	484	0.224	0.43	0.235	0.112
Ukrainian	421	0.449	0.42	0.101	0.03
Western	212	0.536	0.352	0.085	0.027
Eastern	290	0.19	0.445	0.252	0.113
Central	278	0.353	0.475	0.136	0.036
Southern	137	0.26	0.41	0.2	0.13

But the 1999 survey had results by oblast, a finer grain. I mapped the results below, as well as the raw data. The darker the shade, the more patriotic. Note that Crimea is an outlier.
