Not so sure on how to classify Russians, but I'll have a go anyway. Pontid and east Nordid perhaps?

I would say dinaricized Pontid...

Yes, perhaps you're right. One doesn't need to have a curved nose to be classified as `dinaricised.`

It's the mouth and the forehead that give me the dinaric impression. Would have mistaken her for a balkanoid/southern slav anytime.

How about.... Ruskie?

It says so in the title.

**~~Treffie~~** · 03-13-2009, 01:11 PM

Any ideas where she was born or of her ancestry?

**Absinthe** · 03-13-2009, 01:14 PM

IMDB says she was born in Moscow.

Looks Croatian to me.
