🇷🇺 Genetic Landscape of Russia

Russia spans 11 time zones and contains over 190 ethnic groups — from Slavic Russians in the west to Yakut and Buryat peoples in Siberia with East Asian features. The genetic range is staggering. Ethnic Russians typically show Northern European traits (light eyes, fair hair), but the country's indigenous Siberian, Caucasian, and Central Asian populations add enormous diversity. What makes Russia unique is this fusion of European and Asian genetic heritage across the world's largest landmass.
