Many people think that Russians have a lot of Mongoloid/Asian genes, but I wouldn't agree with that.
For example Balanovskaja(Балановская), Russian anthropologist and Genetist writes that the amount of East-Eurasian genes in Russians is only 2 percent while Poles have 1,5 percent, Norwegians 0,6 percent, Karelians 4,8 percent and Icelanders 0,7 percent ...
The average percentage of these genes among Europeans is 3,6 percent, so the Russian average is even lower than the European average.
For people who understand Russian this could be interesting to read, maybe it's also possible to find it in English but I don't know where:
