Well I score often some slavic/east european etc. but it is not well defined because ex-yugoslavs also score that. Well MyHeritage gives me 5% Baltic and I looked up which countries are Top percent in Baltic ancestry and among them is Russia and Belorussia. And Im by genealogy 6-7% (a great great grandfather) and it gives me 5% Baltic. So did MyHeritage pretty well figured out my Russian ancestry unlike some other tests? Many think MyHeritage sucks though but it looks neat to me.

the way they defined the Baltic dna region, I would say yes.

But East European category on 23andme also includes those regions.
and Baltic doesn't mean Slavic. There are Russians who are genetically very close to people from Baltic states and other who are not.

your older 23andme result was more accurate (before the update).

I scored 7% east european. But ex-yugoslavs scored 30% east european and im part serb, part gypsy and part russian. It is not clear whether my east european is russian but on MyHeritage the Baltic is more exclusive to Russian. Im not sure but think that a typical ex-yugoslav wouldnt score Baltic? Probably East European and Balkan but not Baltic?
