The origin of Russians

The modern Russian nation is a mixture of the North and the South, which used to be composed of different tribes among the Slavs in the east. Genetic analysis proves that modern Russians are not much different from Poles or Ukrainians (because their paternal line was changed by Swedes).

Russians in northern Europe and Finns-Ugric people (modern Finns are also a mixture of primitive Finns and Swedes) also have many genetic similarities. The Ugric people in Finland once lived in the north-central part of Europe and Russia, and some of them were assimilated during the Slavs' northward migration.
