Which part of Russia is culturally the most Russian?

[Zohor]

Bryansk/Oryol/Kursk. Not just most Russian area but most Slavic area in the world.

How can something be more Slavic in cultural sense, that's the only criterion I ask about and in this criterion Slavic is just a language. Unless you mean language from this area has the least amount of loanwords and is close to Proto-Slavic

Bryansk/Oryol/Kursk.

Bryansk oblast is a Belarusian land annexed by Russia. Kursk is at least partially Ukrainian. Oriol is the only true Russian out of 3.

Belarusian and Ukrainian are fake identities though, or atleast much newer identities unlike Baltic, Polish and Finno-Ugric. Bryansk is too south-east to be relevant for Balts/Poles, all of eastern Ukraine(especially NE) is essentially Russian. Real Ukraine is in the west and is essentially Polish+Russian+Carpathian. Also, even when considering something like "Ukrainian", that's more Belgorod and Rostov than Kursk. Anywhere more east/north in Russia and you get too much Finno-Ugric, anywhere more south are "new" Russian lands, even if said Russians don't have native Scythian/etc admixture. I guess you can say Tula, Kaluga and even Lipetsk might be better than Bryansk and Kursk but stuff like Moscow or Vladimir are out of the question.

If we are talking about language standart it have its origin from Suzdal and Vladimir

[Faklon]

I have no idea, probably not Crimea, Caucasus and Udmurtia.

Vladimir Oblast sounds like an ideal place to live. I come from Vlad blyat.

I appreciate your post but it seems a bit off topic to me
I asked more in cultural way. If genetics mixed before defining of Russian culture then they don't mean that much

but Komintasavalta is right (almost always), so you think that this Buryat girl claiming she is Russian is the proper Russian, because she identifies with other ethnicity than she really is?

Russians are Slavics -- deal with it.

I'm not telling ethnicity doesn't matter in real life but the question would be much more complicated without throwing out some factors, it is problem is easier to solve when you simplify the model and in my case the model consists only on culture.

So, in reality she wouldn't be considered Russian but maybe the grandchildren could(unless they would be politicians cause then some weirdos with conspiration theories come out). In the context of this thread with my assumption, it makes her Russian but less Russian as she assimilated this culture as her own also she didn't throw everything about her culture but the stuff she didn't like

[gixajo]

I think that the Oblast of Gryaznaya Zadnitsa is the most culturally Russian Oblast.

Edit:Kulon Dlya Penisa Oblast is a good candidate too. (credits to Google translator)
