These people are finno-ugric people from the Urals/volga region. If they have originated and live in Europe how are they not Europeans?

They remind me of Saami and Yakuts but they look more "european" then yakuts i would consider them european but not your definition of "white"

A lot of Russians from the region are assimilated finno-ugrics anyways and if they're fully European, then so are these people...

They look mixed with Siberian type Asiatic genes, but mostly white. But I voted 'no'.
