Because there are none. There are no Russian traits in him. Santtu Karhu may have the name Aleksandr Medvedev as his official one, but he is a pure, unmixed Karelian, Finnic through and through. All...

I saw people talking about what the word 'Lakhta' means - it's the name of the historical district which once used to be a village where the skyscraper has been built. The Finns from Finland have...

I suppose that the people presented were chosen as 'Northern Russian' because of their current location, right? Well, keep in mind that people migrate very from city to city and region to region in...

I noticed that there aren't any threads about this very interesting topic that is very near and dear to my heart, as I was born and live on the ethnic territory of these people.
So, to make it...

What neither the Wikipedia page nor most sources (even Russian ones) tell you is that the Izhorians were not bound only to the Southwest of Ingria, they were also very much present in the North, in...

The only people who would ever think that it's good to live under a dictatorship are the people who've only ever lived under a democracy.

Also, once again, to be considered an indigenous people, an ethnic group only has to be the first to...

Okay, Lofoten and Norrland, but what about territories further Northeast, which are still part of Scandinavia, such as Finnmark? The Sami were first there. There may have been some Norse sailors here...

Some do, yes, for example - the blonde girl on the right in the second pic.

btw, why are we talking about Norway in a thread about Russian Sami? Also, my main point of criticism was that you said that the Sami are not white, which they are, which you've just confirmed...

Okay, so, I don't think understand what 'indigenous' means. Indigenous means that these people were the first to inhabit one particular territory. The Sami being indigenous to Norway, Sweden, and...

They have a quite Slavic look, for some reason coming here I expected a bit more Germanic looks. Most of them would not look out of place at all in Belarus, Western Russia, and Northern Ukraine. Some...

Slovenia?

Only Southern Norway and Southern Sweden/Skåne.

Northern Germany, Denmark, Northern Netherlands, England.

'White' is a very wrong term. There's no such thing as 'White', just as there's no 'Black' and no 'Yellow'. If you mean if they're white by skin color - yeah, they are, they're quite pale, I think....
