Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study tested 8th grades in 2011 and the results show that East Asians and Russians are the best students. As you can see up there.
Whats your explanation? Do you think that its just hard work by russians as they previously werent as high achieving in this study.
Or do you think its genetics, because Russians like fins were this time the highest scored Europeans tough this time we were better than finns. And we both have the most east asian genetic influence of all white people like the following map shows.
We knew that Finland was always off in comparison to other western countries in education but now russias also doing fine makes it really realistic that it has something to do with genetics since both countries have the most east asian influence.
Another interesting fact is that Kazakhstan was higher than ukraine in math. Ukraine clearly seems like the cultural closer country to Russia but it has lower ethnic Russians than Kazakhstan. Israel was also very high but has 25% russian jews who maybe mixed with russians and are heavily russified.
