Komi-Zyriane: Permic population of Russia

[Han Cholo]

Has anyone even seen other Finnic people around the volga? Like the Mari, Udmurts, mordvins, These people seem slightly Asian looking

I have one thread on Udmurts.

I've met Mordva and Komi. They are European, no worries.

Have you visited Russia?

From 2001 to 2008.

The Komi was my friend/colleague's mother.

The Mordvin was my partner's brother in law.

According to Russian anthropologist Cheboksarov among Komi people there are 3 main types:
1. Belomor or Belomor-Baltic type (similar to "Nordic" type).
2. Baltic or East Baltic type (similar to Coon's East Baltic).
3. Vyatka-Kama type (Sublaponoid type).

Is also present but not as much as three previous types the following two types: North Pontid and Uralic types.

An example of a Komi of Belomor type from Cheboksarov’s study work.

I find the Komi people nice and their faces are familar, not looking way different what I can see everyday in Poland.
