Mongoloid/Asian genes in Russian people.

If we are talking about ethnic Russians in total, I would say that percentage you listed is lower than usual. I have witnessed Russians especially past Moscow and they look noticeably more Mongoloid than the average European. Comparing them to Germans or Poles isn't even a question at that longitude, if you're experienced with phenotypes you can instantly tell who is who. East Slavs in general have this specific head shape, you know it when you see it.

A Brit and a Russian are almost instantly recognizable from each other. It's not the complexion, it's the features.

I think East Slavs just inherently look different from British Islanders regardless of whether they have Mongoloid admixture or not. But in the case of Russians north and east of the capital, they do have it so their appearance is a greater departure from the average Brit than even a Belarusian.

A comparison of Russians with other east Slavs, Finnish, and Saami. We can see that Belarusians score no Mong(Krasnoyarsk_BA) and Ukrainians very little if at all, while many Russian groups do. Some, mostly Arkhangelskis/Pomors, even more than the Finnish. The Russian average for the country would fall somewhere in between Belarusians and Finns, as I have said countless times. Phenotype reflects it too.

There are a lot of people with Turkic facial features in Ukraine.I think Ukrainians have much more Mongoloid genes than Russians.My ancestors from the south of Russia had Pontic and Baltic phenotypes, but as soon as they moved to Ukraine and mixed with Ukrainians, they immediately acquired a small Mongoloid influence.And this is not surprising.Back in the days of Kievan Rus, the princes settled various nomadic hordes in Porosye (Pechenegs, Torks, Berendeyev, Kouev, Kapichi, Turpeyev and Bastiev).They mixed and assimilated with the local population.Arab chronicles claim that there were so many nomads, that Kievan Rus was called "The whole land of Russian and black hoods."

People can look mongoloid without necessarily being mongoloid at all and vice versa. Yea many Ukrainians can have pseudo mong features as can many Balts. But the genuine East Asian ancestry in notable quantities is found in northern(Arctic) and eastern(Ural) Rus. And why not? Northern Ukraine and Belarus were within Kievan Rus. Only about half of European Russia was and even then, places like Yaroslavl, Kostroma, etc. still have Finnic ancestry despite that.
