How European is Turkey?

[ugochaves]

Ruriks came orginally from Scandinavia but it makes sence that they had also Finnish admix. You having Finnish admixture means nothing here. It's still interesting to hear your opinion despite the fact that this thread it about Turkey. I also like to talk broadly. Yeah, many Russians can have Finnish admixture. Do you think that Rasputin also had some?

All Russians are close to Finland. We are your only relatives in the whole world.
Rurik is not from Scandinavia, he is a local Finno-Scandinavian-Slavic. Eastern Europe (northern Russia) in the 9th century was a massive migration of Scandinavian peasants and Vikings.

Genetically it seems that Swedes are closer to Russia than Eastern Finns to Russia. Why would you say all Russian are close to Finns? How would you prove your argument? Maybe Russians have some commong ground with Finns (Baltic admixture or Siberia) but why all?

Varangians were mostly from Sweden afaik.

Well this one was really great, usually I dont watch romantic dramas, but this one... Great acting, great story, even though sad one...

If that was Hollywood movie everyone would know about it, when I see movies like that which are non-US movies, I can only wonder how many talents lives outside of Hollywood, maybe even more than INSIDE of Hollywood.

According to myths and legends yeah, genetics, not so much

[ooops]

Turkey has a nice Southern European vibe. It is also a much more strategically important and relevant place than the Balkans or the Baltics.
Turks are mostly ''white-passing''.
