Magical Russian version: HERE (http://sci-hub.cc/http://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2017/10/04/science.aao1887.full).
And the second study:

"(...) Here, we show that Neanderthal DNA affects skin tone and hair color, height, sleeping patterns, mood, and smoking status in present-day Europeans. Interestingly, multiple Neanderthal alleles at different loci contribute to skin and hair color in present-day Europeans, and these Neanderthal alleles contribute to both lighter and darker skin tones and hair color, suggesting that Neanderthals themselves were most likely variable in these traits. (...) Strikingly, more than half of the significantly associated alleles that we identified are related to skin and hair traits, consistent with previous evidence that genes associated with skin and hair biology are over-represented in introgressed archaic regions.
