Genetic studies on Russians

Common card · No. 465511

Genetic studies show that Russians are overall closely related to other Eastern European and North European populations, such as Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles, as well as Estonians, Finns, Lithuanians, Latvians and Swedes, and display significant genetic heterogenity, evidence for multiple genetic ancestries and admixture events. Northern and Northeastern Russians are genetically close to surrounding Finno-Ugric speaking peoples.
