However it is also true that they mixed with Tatars. I would say 5-10% of Russians are mixed with Tatars. And 20-40% mixed with Finno-Ugrics. Mongol admixture is small, I would say 1-3%. Also Baltic elements are prevalent, but not as much as in Belarus. Ukrainians are closer to original Rus' people. Our main haplogroups are R1a and I (Slavic, Sarmatian, Scandinavian), their dominant haplogroups are R1a and N (Slavic, Finno-Ugric, Baltic). But they are still Rus' people.
Brilliant! Peter the Great (a Muscovite Prince) wanted to build a nation recognised by Western Europe! He stole names, titles & entitlements in order to create that which is, now, assumed to be 'Russia'... What a sly manipulator of history he was! Ukraine still has not been able to shake off his legacy after hundreds of years.
St Petersburg was 'built on the bones' of our people/Cossacks who were taken as slaves in his pillages of Kiev. His 'rule' as part of the Rus' Rurik family was a LIE.
"Ukraine is not Russia" - its great!
