Doesn't look russian ... more like a balkanite or an atypical caucasian.

[Alenka]

Jewish?

[fenix978]

East-Baltid + some Pontid + maybe some Uralid.

[Austrvegr]

"Russian" heritage in the US in most cases turns out to be Jewish.

[LightHouse89]

she is probably mixed with something else.

Not really. There are alot of russians here.....ever hear of the 'whites' who fled russia? They mostly came here. As did many georgians too and some chechens. Most of them by now though are probably admixed with different europeans. I know a kid from school who was russian and scottish.

[Roy]

Wow, she's beautiful :)

Pontid + maybe Mtebid, hence probably she's mix of Russian with something else.

[Not a Cop]

Agreed

[Sakis]

Balkanite?She looks northern slav.

[cocoNN]

I think her eyeliner makes her eyes look a bit different. More asian.

She could pass in Slovenia easily.

Plenty of Russians came over during the late 1980s right before the collapse of the USSR and settled in Brooklyn. I wouldn't be surprised if she or her parents were one of them.

[Volscian]

Baltid-Pontid mix

[CordedWhelp]

Also, there are a lot of Russians and Belorussians/ east slavs who were counted as Poles or occasionally German (depending)

[Austrvegr]

Plenty of Russians came over during the late 1980s right before the collapse of the USSR and settled in Brooklyn. I wouldn't be surprised if she or her parents were one of them.

Those were 99% Jews "fleeing Soviet anti-semitism", like the "Russians" who came to the US before 1917 "fleeing pogroms". Genuine Russians were the White Russians who came to America in the wake of 1917.

[Kastrioti1443]

Nothing Mtebid or Uralid about her.

She doesn't look typical russian but can pass.

[dude]

She looks Ukranian. She's hot.

You guys don't even need to go back so far in history. I believe I posted statistics a while back on Russians currently being the largest European migrant group to the US. I think that was 2011 statistics or around that general area. It could be different now.

you're from Washington state too... So you may have met a lot of Russian Immirants as well.

The highschool I went to as a teen had several Russians, and one of the factories I work in aftr I graduated had many Russian workers.

From there yes, currently in the southeast though bro. Ive seen more Russian surnames when I was in California actually. Particularly in the North. My schools back in Washington were super Anglo. There were some obvious anglicized German surnames here and there. In Maryland I saw quite a few Polish surnames. I never go around asking people their ancestries though. If I can't tell by their surname I would never know. Hell I barely even tell people my ancestry unless they ask where I got my surname because my father didn't anglicize his.

The Russians I came across were FOBs. But my school was very German and Anglo. No Mexicans, mostly German surnames (Hoffman, Schmidt, Fuches, etc.) and of course a good number of Anglo. That's to be expected of a highschool full of farmer's kids though.

They mostly came to France, actually.

[Smeagol]

A lot of Ethnic Russians actually came in the late 19th/early 20th century. My Grandmother's family was ethnically Russian. This girl could be a Jew though.

[Austrvegr]

No, very few. Religious sectarians mostly like the Dukhobors. There was no reason for Russians to move to the US before 1917.

[Austrvegr]

They mostly came to France, actually.

Many White Russians moved to the US from France after 1945 fearing its takeover by Communists.

[LightHouse89]

They mostly came to France, actually.

A good amount fled here too. But yes throughout the west....possibly mostly France and America....even the Georgian/Caucasus monarchy fled to the west.

Have you ever been to Quebec?

[LightHouse89]

True also many Ukrainians who sided with the Fascists fled here.... those that could afford to flee I guess. By now most are absorbed into the english speaking population..... mostly in urban places. The russian mob has been here for a long time :cool::p [no one messes with them hahaha].

[LightHouse89]

Well some did in the california colony and alaska. Also one of my uncles is Russian and Volga German....his ancestors came here in the early 1900s mostly in search of a better life, or something other than farming/labor.

Not entirely...this is a major misconception even about German and American Poles. Alot of ethnic russians came....I suppose we should not say 'Alot' then....as this confuses people but a great many did come here. Just not gigantic waves like the irish.

[Rudel]

Have you ever been to Quebec?
Nope.

[LightHouse89]

Nope.

I am shocked it is mini France LOL. The flag of Quebec still uses the old monarchy symbol.

It also happens to be on the other side of the Atlantic.

Air planes help :coffee:

I have no intentions of spending hundreds or thousands just to go to Québec.
