Could be. But it might just be that they have just the right ancestry proportions to make it *appear* so. I just ran the samples with Corded Ware Germany and Czech Republic along with Fatyonovo and Sintashta to see if Russians or any other population scored any of the eastern groups. Not a single one did.
it is one of the groups that we associate with the steppe, yes. Although it is technically right in between the early bronze age Yamnaya and modern N/E Europeans. The steppe that you and I have comes from Sintashta and by proxy Fatyanovo
