How blond are Russians?

[Zeno]

I've heard a lot of opinions on this. Some say that the majority is undoubtedly blond, while others say that a minority is.

What's the truth, and are Russians truly a "blonde nation"?

I preferably want the Russian members' opinions.

Russians will whiten their citizens?

Probably depends a lot on the standard of "blondness".
If you count only light blond then it's pretty rare among Russian males. It's more common among children, women etc.
If you count dark blond + light brown then it's much more common already.

They are brown haired in general. Ash brown similar to Stears hair color.
However, lot of Russian regions are very blond.

On my island this summer were Russian tourists obviously from northern regions because many looked very Finnic, and they were blond as f__k!
Adults, kids, all of them.

From light blonde to dark blonde (that is blonde hair as a whole only).

Have you ever been in Russia? Because the fact that the Russian tourists you saw who were very blond might reflect ethnic Russians as a whole.
