More Nordic: Russia or Italy?

[Eugene Finkelstein]

But just European Russia, then Russia without a doubt.

The majority of population in Asiatic Russia is of absolutely Europid (Caucasoid, White, or whatever term you like) ancestry. With a somewhat lighter skin and much lighter hair color in comparison with Italians.
Caucasians/Europids represent more than 90% of population in the Asian part of Russia according to the census of 2010. If we include Tatars (some of which have Asian admixture), it would be more than 93%.
And, once again, this 90% is REALLY light skinned and hair also lighter, than of Italians (although true blondes are rare seen in adulthood, but it's true even for scandinavians, everybody becomes darker when growing up).
In fact, many Russian people, including those from Asian part of it, and especially from older generations and rural areas, if they meet some Italians would think - "Gypsies?" Because orphan black curly hair is something rarely seen among Slavic people But there are some Gypsies with such look, so...
So. Anyway, even Asian part of Russia would win the Italia in it's "Nordic stance" )))
P.S. Sorry for my English, please.

The more one resembles an albino the more magical superhuman powers one has at things like civilization building, math, art, and science that is why slavics are lighter colored than Western Europeans in general (sarcasm).

[Eugene Finkelstein]

If so, probably Finns would win the race

Silly question Russia obviously

Russia hands down.

Russians:





Southern Europe has never been Nordic-tier White, another pointless comparison.

Italians:

[Eurafricanid]

Italy is clearly much more dark haired and eyed.

...

RUSSIA by far! In fact North-west Russia is one of the most blondest places in Europe. The incidence of blonde hair is just as common as in Scandinavian countries.

[Septentrion]

Italy is one of the most Mediterranean lands in Europe. Italians are one of the darkest-haired, darkest-eyed, darkest-skinned European people. Italians are dark Whites.

Russians by far

[Odelia]

Russians may have a nordic colouring but their asiatic facial features betray their complexion. Italians at least have a nordic head shape. And those in the north, even if they're not nordic in complexion, are in the atlantic facade, which is far close to the nordic race than any round faced russian. But I do understand why russia is in the lead by far in the poll.
