Can you generally tell Poles and Russians people apart?

[Roy]

Russians have a finnic type look that poles dont have, Poles look full Euro while I would say many russians have a bit of an exotic look in Europe. Of course there is a lot of overlap but Poles have their own look.

I'd say those with ''Finnic look'' often look totally Caucasoid even if quite foreign from a Polish point of view. Then there are Russians who are more Uralic or mixed in with Turkic people who look indeed not full Euro but it's a rare occurence. Mind you, there are 100% Udmurts or Volga Tatars who just look white to me.

Otherwise I agree with you.

Russia has far more Nordids than Poland. Poland has probably least amount of Nordids if we count area between north Sea and Urals.

1945 was a year of mass expulsion of Nordids from Poland.

So you think that most Nordids in Poland were German? This is delusional. But then again I should stop expecting objective statements who claim that the most common phenotype in Poland is "Gorid"

No Central European and Eastern European population is distinguishable at the individual level (in groups is other thing). They can all pass in one way or another in any other place.

This speaking of ethnic Europeans. In the particular case of Russia, the Siberians are a separate issue.

I'm bored, so I decide to make a thread about ''Can you generally tell Poles and Russians people apart''.





Imo, Poles and Russians does not looks similiar at all.

Not. You can’t tell these Slavic fellas apart! Poles might have more Alpines and less Ladogans or Lappish-looking, besides that, these people are just Eastern Slavs.

I have always thought they look pretty similar for the most part.

Slavic women look better than Germanic women. But it is not me being biased as I find Baltic women (like Lithuanian better looking than those from most Slavic ethnic groups).
