I've used these four modern references and this is what I get:

The Ruriks established themselves in Russia in the 9th century. You can't expect the Scandinavian profile to persist even in the second half of the 13th century!

He is basically a Polovtsian. But it has some kind of Western European admixture.

Only 1/4 Polovets/Cuman, I believe. He also allegedly had Alanic/Jassic ancestry.

The Rurikovichi have mixed with Scandinavia many times in their history. It is foolish to look for the original profile of Scandinavia from the descendants of Alexander Nevsky. The whole of Eurasia is mixed up there

Perhaps. It is also unknown who the Polovtsians were.

N is typical Finno Ugric. The majority of Finno Ugrics have it. He is therefore from that population. Might be Tatar as well since some Russian monarchs were actually christianized tatars.

Perhaps. It is also unknown who the Polovtsians were.

They were Cumans we know that, and they intermixed with our nobility and also settled in Central Ukraine (they also contributed to the ethnogenesis of Cossacks in the Steppes).

Yaroslav married his first wife c. 1205. She was a daughter of Yuri Konchakovich, Khan of the Cumans. Her people belonged to the Kipchaks, a confederation of pastoralists and warriors of Turkic origin.
