Russian from Vladivostok, Far East Russia Myheritage + Gedmatch results - help me interpret them

[Magma]

Greetings everyone. I found this forum while looking for places to post DNA results and get help interpreting them, and since people post and discuss their DNA here, I thought I might post mine too.
For context, I am from Vladivostok, Primorskiy Kray, Far East Russia.
Here's a map of my recent ancestry:

It seems like MyHeritage was able to correctly identify where I was born

I would appreciate if someone could help me interpret these results and tell me if they are typical for someone like me. Thanks

Hi,

Due to the massive spike in Russophobia these days I would prefer not to post anything related to Russia but since you already did this, here are my thoughts:
Your results are very Western, the Mongoloid input is basically minimal, almost non-existent. By the looks of it your ancestry could be mostly from a certain country that starts with a U or from adjacent areas. At least you definitely don't seem to have any deep Sibiryak origins. I have seen hundreds upon hundreds of Russian results, probably more than anyone else. And they keep coming in. Do you know the birthplaces of the remaining three grandparents? An oblast level will suffice.
Also, please share your Dodecad K12b components, the original oracle is pretty much useless and meaningless but the components are very valuable.

Hi. I'm gonna type in English so that all forum users will understand.
Here's a more detailed ancestry breakdown based on what information my parents, grandfather, and cousin provided:
1/4 Russian from Bryansk oblast, very near Belarus border
1/4 Russian from a village south of Ryazan oblast
1/8 Russian from Kuban
1/8 Russian from Ufa, Bashkortostan
1/8 Ukrainian from Sumy
1/8 Ukrainian from west of Zhytomyr oblast

My cousin has traced the Ukrainian ancestry very far. And as far as I know, all names, surnames and patronyms are Slavic, Russian and Ukrainian.

The Far East became Russian only in the second half of the 19th century and most people there are even more recent. Second, third generation mostly. And their families came from all over the place, basically between the Dnieper and Baikal (Western Siberia was already populated when the Far East was incorporated into the Empire, so the settlers would have been partially from Eastern Russia too, not just European Russia/Ukraine/Belarus).

You mean Ukraine? Because that's exactly what I said, I'm 1/4 Ukrainian.

I'm 4th generation Far-East Russian born. My first ancestor born in the far east came from Ukraine. The rest came later.

Hi. I'm gonna type in English so that all forum users will understand.

1/8 Russian from Kuban

I see. As I expected. Basically only Ufa is actually Eastern. But 1/8 is a small amount, it must've been diluted even if it was strongly Uralic/Northeastern Russian.

You mean Ukraine? Because that's exactly what I said, I'm 1/4 Ukrainian.

Yes. But you said 1/4, my impression was that it should be more than that. I'm half Belorussian (roughly, maybe not literally 50%) and I score like 3 times more East Eurasian/Mongoloid than you.

I'm gonna run the K12b oracle for you.

[Leto]

Dodecad K12b. Your results are indeed very Western. But obviously folks like you do exist. Even if the average Russian is like Sergey Shoigu
