I think this is VERY significant. They just might be today's Russians/Ukrainians/Poles. Remember the early Slavs did nothing but fight each other. Warriors do not change. These facts are strongly causing me to lean to them being todays Slavs. I also think the Slavs came from Europe and went to the Mid East and then to Black Sea area. I do not think they originated there. Then they migrated west from there.
Some of the autochthonous elements persist, and become even more widespread, after the demise of the Gothic elite – a phenomenon associated with the rise and expansion of the early Slavs.
Other influences, such as a minority of burials containing weapons, are seen from the Przeworsk and Zarubinec cultures. The latter has been connected with early Slavs.[
