Do Russian (old USSR) people look different in different areas

[compboyo]

So for example near moscow/east russia we have the traditional Esatern Euroepan look. With criminal looking white men and sexy females lol. ''no stereotypes''

North West Russia a more scandanavian type look?

Then as we go south towards Iran do the Russians look more like your typical Sadam Husain kinda dark skinned, middle eastern look?

Then if we go into middle russia up north versus south, for south we are near afgahnistan etc..so we expect russians in this area to also have that kind off indian/middle eastern osama bin laden look?

But what about up north what do the people look like here? North russians?

Now as we head east towards china, mongolia we expect russians to take on more orinetal features...with some russians looking pure chinese at the furthest east? But thats in the south also?

What about north east russia what do they look like?

And compelte East is near alaska so we have alsakn looking type inuit russians?


ANyone oddly happen to have any info on this subject?

They do look different dependent on regions, yes. Despite all being Russian there actually a lot of very distinct peoples.

The Russian Federation is made up of many ethnic groups. Its probably one of the most diverse nations in the world in fact.

Its the same in the UK, after moving about 100 miles north I've found that all the women look like Kerry Katona and all the blokes look like ******. Not so much of this in the midlands, its much more varied.

Up in the north west on the whole they look like your usual European Moscow-St Pb Russians as they moved there mainly because of the naval base(s) in the Kola peninsula and mining, the native Saami people pretty much got displaced to Norway, Sweden and Finland.

I didn't even notice it first time, now I'm at that stage where I'm half about to explode with laughter and half trying to conceal it

With some many indigenous peoples and such a vast territory of course you will get very different looking ones:

I remember the first time that I was in the company of some Russians I was suprised to see that they were Northern European in appearance yet they had the same eyes as Oriental people.

I remarked to friend about this who was not Russian and he said it was because a lot of them got raped by the Mongols.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Mongols invaded Russia in the winter and still kicked their arses.
