Actually, Germans are Russians, since they got most of their genes from Russia.
Western and Eastern Europe came into contact ~4,500 years ago, as the Late Neolithic Corded Ware people from Germany traced ~3/4 of their ancestry to the Yamnaya, documenting a massive migration into the heartland of Europe from its eastern periphery. This steppe ancestry persisted in all sampled central Europeans until at least ~3,000 years ago, and is ubiquitous in present-day Europeans.
By extending our model to a three way mixture of WHG, Early Neolithic and Yamnaya, we estimate that the ancestry of the Corded Ware was 79% Yamnaya-like, 4% WHG, and 17% Early Neolithic. A small contribution of the first farmers is also consistent with uniparentally inherited DNA: e.g. mitochondrial DNA haplogroup N1a and Y chromosome haplogroup G2a, common in early central European farmers, almost disappear during the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age, when they are largely replaced by Y haplogroups R1a and R1b and mtDNA haplogroups I, T1, U2, U4, U5a, W, and subtypes of H. The uniparental data not only confirm a link to the steppe populations but also suggest that both sexes participated in the migrations. The magnitude of the population turnover that occurred becomes even more evident if one considers the fact that the steppe migrants may well have mixed with eastern European agriculturalists on their way to central Europe. Thus, we cannot exclude a scenario in which the Corded Ware arriving in today’s Germany had no ancestry at all from local populations.
Our study shows that a later major turnover did occur, and that steppe migrants replaced ~3/4 of the ancestry of central Europeans.
