Typical Russian

[VirilLignac]

Which phenotype is overall more frequent among Russians , Baltid or north pontid ?

Baltids in the North, Pontids in the South.
The more Indo-European ancestry you look Pontid, the more Finno-Ugric ancestry you look Baltid (with exception of West Baltids who are more common among Indo-Europeans).

Apparently many of them look like Swedes, it doesn't surprise me.

I don't know.

I don't know.

If you compare them as a group, the difference is noticeable (and a lot) but at an individual level there are many who have phenotypes that could happen in Sweden at least, in Norway and Denmark it is less likely but in Sweden and Finland they enter.

These are Donetsk Russians, Poles call them Ukrainians. Central Russians look something like this


They write here that only 18% of Russians have blonde hair. It is not true. Central regions - more than 30%. Even if the hair is dark brown, it does not change the appearance. Vyacheslav Malofeev:

Maybe, it's Boris Yolkin - a man of high virtues - and also the mayor of the ancient city of Pskov, former capital of the Principality and Republic of Pskov in the Pskov Land. Plescoviae is notable for outliving the Novgorod for decades, and into the XVI century, with a very alike system of oligarchic republicanism. Interesting history precedent.

Another Boris. For those who like dark-haired Russians.

I understand that the origin of Russia is due to the Viking settlement of Kievan Rus and the majority of the population is Slavic but I am curious to know if there is a small percentage of Russians with Viking DNA

I also know that there was a group of Germans who settled in Russia although I don't know if these Germans were segregated or mixed with the local population.

Every Russian language has a percentage of this. Someone has it in a straight line. There were Vikings and there were a lot of them. We don't give a shit about r1a. Most of us have gone from cattle ranchers to slaves. The Scandinavians themselves dissolved instantly. The princely power of Svyatoslav is Putin's legacy. These are two strong kings. Both are Slavs, Russians.

Oh, it seems your typical Viking Russian is not good enough to play in national team
