    Just as an aside: In this list I created, the Germany-Poland gap is only ranked 19th. At least in terms of economics and social wellbeing, nowadays the main divide in Europe is no longer Western versus Eastern Europe, but EU-members versus non-EU members.

    That's half of Europe, with south Europe being first.

    If you mean by “looking Slavic” a Central European phenotype (Germanic and Slavic features mixed) then yes. If you mean the stereotypical slavic look, then no

    Yes we do. But you shouldn’t underestimate the “mixed” (Slavic Germanic) ones. I think they are majority when it comes to phenotypes

    What would a stereotypical slav look to you? Would be great if you have any celebs or people I can look up pictures of. (Considering you've lived abroad you probably have a better perspective on it than I).

    Monsieur looks like my Russian friend. He pass in Russia 100%.

    Central and Southern Russians are the most Balto-Slavic people in Europe. Or are you talking about 1-3% of Siberians in the DNA of central Russians? This is a very ancient admixture that has nothing to do with the modern small peoples of Russia.

    Russians are similar to the ancestors of the Slavs without significant influence of foreign impurities. There are no other similar Europeans. Neither the Balkan Slavs, nor the Poles, nor even the Ukrainians come close to that first Slavic appearance of our common ancestors.
