Classify Swedish actress Malin Buska

[Crimean]

You ment Буска?

Anyway Buska ... a family name starting with ''soft'' B and not ''hard'' P hardly has Finnic origin.

By the way, in Russian "B" in Buska (Буска) sounds "hard". If only "B" sounded soft, the word should be written as Büska (Бюска). Anyway, both this words sounds very non-Russian.
I think this surname is probably archaic Scando, may be pre-Germanic one.

I first saw Malin Buska a few years ago in the film The Girl King (2015) in which she played Queen Christina of Sweden of the House of Vasa. I thought that Malin was an unusual choice, because she doesn't look particularly Swedish enough to play such a famous Queen and I always associate Queen Christina with the movie version starring Greta Garbo (1933).

Then, time passed and I forgot about her. Last month, I saw her play a Finnish witch in the BBC adaptation of A Discovery of Witches. And I told myself 'Hey, it's that actress from The Girl King!'. I was intrigued by her looks and thought of opening a classification thread for her.

I know that Malin is a very popular first name in Sweden, but Buska didn't sound Swedish to me and she looked like she could have some Sami admixture despite her height.

PS: Buska said some incantations in Finnish in A Discovery of Witches, but I have no idea if her pronunciation is good or if she sounds like a native Finn. 99% of the time, she spoke English in it.

I dont Think she is Russian. It exist alot of Russian looking peapole in Norrland i look myself Russian but i got 0 slavic blood. It is probably Finno-Ugirc blood.

This. However pass in Northern Russia better than Central European looking Alpines.

What comes to possible Sami blood ... she is 1,76cm tall woman! Yes, she might have that, but if so ... how much.

Like I said I think she's some kind of North-East Upper Paleolithic type. North-East Upper Paleolithic can be very tall.

For instance this is an example of North-East Upper Paleolithic from Coon. She's 1,75 cm, it's more than some Nordic men from Coon. I posted many girls with this phenotype and they all are very tall.

She doesn't look Slavic. Finnish would be the closest I would say

Balto-Lappid, very Northern Swedish looking

[Saiwalo]

Quite a few of these exist in my region.
Balto-Lappid sounds reasonable.

Tydal-Baltid

[Komintasavalta]

She looks woggish and dead-eyed because she has exposed upper eyelids and the skin of her eyelids is dark. That's hardly a Finnish or Saami look.
