They aren't even a civilization.

Russians are mix of Germanics, Turkics, Finnic, Caucasian and Baltic peoples..... and I2 Celtic/Balkanic.

I can lend you my halogroup for few days.

^^^Yeah right, because they were able to check it, they probably didn't give a shit if someone is I2a or R1a, they had many more important things to do for example get some food, water ect. At this time most likely language and believes were a factor to associate as part of a larger group

Would be cool if it was Illyrian or something paleo-Balkan, but i'm afraid it's Slavic (eastern european) in origin. The I2 that is of high frequency in the Balkans. There's nothing wrong with that.

The Mesopotamian branch, as the Sardinian branch, are different to the Dinaric/Balkan branch.

Slavic is a linguistic name, not a genetic one. I2, tall, large and dark, looks nothing like R1a

Southern Slavs are just slavicized Vlachs!

Unfirtunately you Macedonian Slavs are below 50% Slavic genetically and almost no different from Vlachs/Aromanians. Very different from Croats or Bosnians.
You diluted your blood too much

Well if I was Macedonian Slav I would be happy with it. But, being a Croat I am very proud to Know how much Slavic blood our ancestors preserved even after thousand years on Adriatic shores. It's a great feeling to Know how capable they were to take this most beautiful part of Europe from other people and remain here until this day

I am proud on both my Slavic and Vlach genetic component.

Well Macedonian Slavs reached the Aegean sea. Produced people like Cyril and Methodius. Translated the bible into Slavonic. Created the Glagolitic alphabet, Cyrillic alphabet, and then went up to Great Moravia to teach the Slavs up there how to read and right.

During that time, we mixed with the locals. The same way the Anglo Saxons mixed with the Celts in Britain.

Is that actually certain Cyril & Methodius were Slavs and not Greeks? I think Byzantium assigned them the task of evangelizing the Slavs. Obviously they were culturally Byzantine and knew Greek very well.
