Ethnic Origins of the Russians

It's hard, because in English you just call all the people of Russia Russians, but in Russia we have 2 different words, Russian in english is not the same as Russian in russian language. Russians are a mono-ethnic slavic group. And here we have the word Rossiyane, which mean all the nations and citizens of Russia.

Frankly speaking, they didn't control it very harshly, especially Chukotka) They only built some fortresses and collected taxes. No forceful christianisation, no enslaving of local peoples (ethnical Russians were the only slaves in the country), no marginalization of language and culture. Many Russians tried to escape slavery, they ran away from landlords and hid near local peoples. Many fled there because of religious persecution - they didn't accept Church reform in XVII century. All of them were a minority, they didn't want to quarrel. Yes, there are other reasons as Mongol rule in the region (some infrastructure remained). Also, Russians helped Siberian leaders to fight against Manchurs and Chinese. Apart from that, local elites were respected, and Cossack leaders married local leaders' daughters. I think respect for culture made us very different from invaders from other territories. BTW from first schools until today indigenous children all over the country study their language and culture at school, especially if it's boarding schools for children of nomadic peoples.

ethnic russians are of Slavic(eastern slavs), Scandinavian(Rus' people) and Finno-Baltic origin. All these ethnic groups (even though the Slavs are a cultural-linguistic group, we take them here) form a single Russian ethnos and that is why Russian Tsars had the title "Tsar of All Russians". This title literally means that this Tsar rules over the whole spectrum of indigenous ethnic groups of the Russian principalities: Slavs, nords, finns and balts. As Churchill said: "Russia is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

[@CrazyLeiFeng]

"Ethnic Russians" are NOT of Slavic descent. They are either Finno-Ugric (Merya, Mordva, etc) or Turkic (Tatars). Their language was created by Balkan missionaries and hence is a dialect of Bulgarian, not similar to Ukrainian.

[@ilyatsukanov8707]

With respect, the Russian Empire's conquest of Siberia was in no way comparable to the bloodshed of the Western Europeans' conquest of North America. Firstly, these areas were far less densely populated owing to their northerly, remote nature. Secondly, the state's conscious policy was mostly of coexistence with and taxation of local tribes, and less often, assimilation. In fact, according to respected Siberia scholar N.I. Nikitin, it was often the case that settlers' complaints about conflicts with locals over fishing resources, hunting rights, etc. went unanswered by the central government, which wanted to make the profits off Siberia's riches, but didn't want to spend money on garrisons and policing (Nikitin, 'The Absorption of Siberia in the XVII Century', 1990). This meant settlers either had to fight locals themselves, or learn to get along. Also, for one reason or another, the Russians never seemed to share the ideas of racial supremacy over conquered peoples as other European powers had. Altogether, this has helped to save so many distinct ethnic groups within the Russian Empire (up to 185 different ethnic groups), and, in the 19th and 20th centuries, led to many people from these minorities taking up prominent positions in government, the military, culture, and other areas. P.S. I am half ethnic Russian, half Turkic Chuvash myself.

@@Vitalis94 That''s true, they also have one of the highest percentages of blondes in the world. Yet the Finns started to mix with the Scandinavians long time ago, thousands of years ago. And where this started, how far east this area reached? And are all the blondes and blue-eyed people in the Pomor region descendants of later migration, or where they there, when the Finno-Ugric people came. Aslo, are they older than the Scandinavians too, at least the language? The Scandinavians have a mostly a bit different genetic origin than most Europeans. But because tehir language is Indo-European, it's possible that they adapted that later, and their older language vanished. But if that was the case, it resulted then in the Germanic language Group. So in this theory, the older language would have influenced in what makes Germanic languages different from the the other Indo-Europeans of Europe, like Celtic, Slavic, Romance etc. Celtic languages also show some influence of non-Indo-European languages, maybe Basque-type languages, because the genetics show that the British Islanders (Celtic or English) are still mostly related to Basques genetically, who speak a non-Indo-European language. Also the romance languages and Greek show signs of influence from a substratum language, one that was there before they came into the land. All this means, that who knows what was the culture of the blue-eyed and blonde people of the north originally, maube mneither Scandinavian nor Uralic, they likely migrated from the Bakans, there are genetic relatives there. These people were in europe before those who brought the Indo-European languages. This relates to Pomors in that their langauge and culture can have changed many times, like it has changed from the Uralic to Russian. But I've heard there are some fish names and other nature names int heir dialects that are Uralic. And place names are many, especially around the Karelian area, where the change to Russian language is even a younger incidence. But also further south, like around Novgorod there are Uralic names. Even Moscow was established amidst Uralic people, like Merya, Muroma, and was it Meshchina people. Alsothe Volga name sounds like it might came from Uralic languages: Finnish has Valkea, Valko- 'white', Estonian have Valge, Livonians Vaalga - meaning the same. That sound with k in Finnish, and g in estonian & Livonian is not quite g, nor is it as strong as in English, so the English migh here it as g, and the Russians. Even recently Russians have turned Finnish k, p & t to g, b & d in Finnish family names that have been decades or centuries with names of Finnish (or closely related language) origin. This doesn't prove anything of course, but just says it's possible. And the city of Samara could be Uralic by it's structure, but also Turkic or Russian etc. But it's the southernmost area where Uralic people have long existed, in Samara region it's the Mordvinians (Mordva people). When there's also the Mari people north or Volga, it sounds like all those Merya, Muroma, Mari & Mordva nations (maybe sa-mara too) come from a common culture where the name was Mar, Mer, Mor… something.

Russian Russians ' Y-chromosome pool in their historical settlement zone is mainly a composite composite of their Proto-Slavic heritage and, in particular, in the Russian North, an extensive admixture with Finno-Ugric speakers. This bipartite scenario of the main sources of origin of modern ethnic Russians is supported by the analysis of classical markers presented here and can be used as a working hypothesis for a better understanding of the genetic diversity and demographic history of Eurasian populations. Its patrilineal aspect can be further refined by a detailed study of STR variations in phylogenetic biliallelic haplogroups, although new informative SNPs should be identified for deeper progress, in particular, given that only a small part of the Y chromosome has been studied so far for markers potentially informative for phylogeographic research3. www.cell.com/fulltext/S0002-9297%2807%2900025-0

VESNA 1111 The word Cossack comes from Irano-Scythian people in the first Millenia, that lived in the steppes of today‘s Southern Russia. It meant „free people“ or „ free man“. Later the turcic tribes from the East of Eurasia came, turcified the Scyths, and the Rus developped in what is today Ukraine, Belorus and part of European‘s Russia. Already at that time part of Southern Slavic tribes had mixed with Scythians. Additionally at the border of the Rus to the steppe land, Rus people mixed with parts of turcic tribes, that had asked to get permission to settle on Rus land and fight on the Rus side, ad they had pressure from the East from further incoming new turcic tribes. Those are the precursors of Cossack. This process actually proceeded actually until few centuries ago. Cossack is a mix of various people. There never has bern an ethical, religious, or political unity amongst the various Cossack groups. Further groups that led to the admixture were runaway Rus ( and successor state) peasants, refugees from the many wars in the Caucasus in the centuries before the state Russia was present there. Some groups were deliberately settled by the Russian Czar, e.g. part of Don Cossacks were Tatarian soldiers that were settled at the Don by Czar Iwan Grosny, the Terrk Cossacks came from Rjasan region and were settled by another czar ( including their families). Most cossacks never ever received any payment, as no state could have had such huge finances. Cossacks were warriors and had a civil profession at the same time, ad they had to support themselves, as they wanted to remain free people. Free from the European Christian feudal system, and free from the muslim khanates and its slave hunters. As beeing in a sandwich position without any natural protection Cossacks never have been a homogeneous group. Sometimes they fought against the Czar, sometimes for. Within a group they are very cooperation oriented, loyal. As an individual you don’t survive, or you get enslaved. Within their families they are warm and caring. Also they have strong spirits. Within my whole family I don’t know drug addicts, no degenerates, noone beats their wife. Also respect man fight against each other, not against weak people. Respect for nature and god is important. My family treats animals well. All born after WW2 don‘t self-identify as Cossacks anymore. Our steppe culture , language has been as such extinguished. But our spirit is alive. Good bye!

[@michaelkulakov9716]

Not quite true about the Rus. They did form the Duchy of Moscow together as far as I understand. The word Rus is mostly a term for eastern slavs and their rulers who originally came from Nordic countries. I think "rus" means something like "to row" in Swedish and it's wildly speculated that the first slavic rulers in Novgorod and Kyiv were Swedish sailors/traders/raiders. So while technically Moscow was a part of the "Rus," Rus itself started long before the Duchy of Moscow and it wasn't with the help of Finno-Ugric tribes. They did have part in forming Moscow, I believe. As for the larger eastern slavs, you may be confusing Finno-Ugric people with Balts. Ukrainians and Belarus (who referred to themselves as Rus or Rusyni up to 19th century) did share the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with the Balts.

Don Cossacks here, I would actually disagree with you on saying that Cossacks are not an ethnic group. Cossacks have many genetic commonalities, Zaporthian Cossacks and Terek Cossacks and Don Cossacks have allot of their origins rooted in Circassian and Ossetian admixture with local Russian tribes (however Muslim Circassians settled in the Don river). As for Siberian Cossacks, they were brought from the Don along with their leader Ermak Timofeyev who was a Don Cossack. Each Cossack host did not let foreigners, even regular Russians, penetrate their genetic line somewhere in the 1700s because after the Don Cossacks held 3 large rebellions so the Tsar decided to send the Don Cossacks a referendum with a list of rules to follow if they wanted to keep their freedom, a few of them are that the Ataman was to be elected by the tsar, marriages were to happen in churches and most importantly was one outlining how every Don Cossack Male had to serve 20-30 years in military. Keeping freedom was important, it meant that they get to have their own ranking, election system, avoid taxes, enjoy their own land and culture, the reason I mention this is that if any person tried to enter their land to avoid taxes and shit, they would be instantaneously fucking killed or chased back to Moscow because we were not going to serve 20 years in military so some guy who we do not know can just avoid taxes. This all meant that tradition, language and genetics were all very well preserved for the Cossacks and even Anatole Klyosov mentioned this in a podcast talking about how these Cossacks had almost 100% genetic mutations similar to eachother

I'm talking about many earlier groups: Hoper Cossacks (14th - 16th centuries) - residents of the medieval Cossack state Chervlenny Yar (13th - 14th centuries, the territory of modern Saratov and Penza region of Russia) and descendants of the proto-Cossack tribes of brodniks and chigs (12th - 13th cent.).

Sevruki (15th - 17th cent.) - descendants of Severians (8th - 11th cent.) ancient East Slavic tribe. Meshcherian Cossacks or Meshcherians or Meshcherian Tatars (15th -16th cent.) - It was a regular army (mostly muslims) of the Kasimov “kings” and “princes” (Tatar khans) who, for various reasons, emigrated to Russia and since the middle of the 15th century served the Moscow Grand Dukes, and then the Tsars. They originally lived in the forest-steppe and steppe of the historical region of Meshchera, located in the modern - northern and eastern parts of the Tula region, southeastern parts of Moscow region, in Ryazan region, in the south of Vladimir region, in the north of the Tambov region, Penza regions and further, to the Middle Volga region. And just a little about Yik (Ural) Cossacks - they although speaking Russian and identifying themselves as being of primarily Russian ancestry also incorporated many Tatars into their ranks. Some of these Tatars called themselves Bulgarians of Khazar origin, and the first Yaik Cossacks, including these Tatars and Russians, already existed on Ural (Yaik) river by the end of 14th century.Also these Tatars might be both Chuvash people and Meshcherians, the latter had not only Muslims and Jews, but Christians among them to facilitate their merge with Russians. Later, after the defeat of the Nogai horde a lot of Nogais joined Yaik Cossacks.

And since we're on the matter, the most immediate and intimate reference to the origin of the Rurikids is the following paragraph, found on page 64: "Since Paul is the teacher of the Slavic race, from which we Russians too are sprung, even so, the Apostle Paul is the teacher of us Russians, for he preached to the Slavic nation, and appointed Andronicus as Bishop and successor to himself among them. But the Slavs and the Russes are one people, for it is because of the Varangians that the latter became known as Rus', though originally they were Slavs. While some Slavs were termed Polyanians, their speech was still Slavic, for they were known as Polyanians (29) because they lived in the fields. But they had the same Slavic language."- At best, the Normanist theory can state that the Rus', who were originally Slavic, were Normanized by the Varangians, whom this paragraph treats as a separated and alien entity, compared to other Slavs. And besides, we now have aDNA and Y-DNA confirmation that the original paternal Rurikids didn't just carry Slavic DNA, but have had minimal Germanic aDNA.

Where are the Tartars

[@alpachino7659]

It's Tatars, not Tartars. Mostly in Tatarstan.

[@nazryabchik2303]

There are also Crimean tatars. Shortly after the occupation their TV channel ATR was denied in getting license, their council Majlis had to move to continental Ukraine and they are kinda not welcome on their own land. I also know a crimean who had to move to Odesa. So I guess Tatars are currently being assimilated and molded into "one great russian nation".

Russians are east slavic ethnic group Sure in Russia live many nations, but ethnic Russians are the most significant population of the country about 80% and they are slavs You show many indigenous people of caucasus and Siberia like they all are Russians and like Russian ethnicity not exist, but they are not Russians by ethnic, like gypsies in Romania are not Romanians, they sure Russians by country and so on, but there are the differences. With Respect!

[@RussMalina]

Born Russian, raised West European, I always questioned the "Slavic" ethnicity.. In my eyes it is just a cultural identity. Not many Slavic people ask themselves what Slavic actually means. It is therefore successfully used for nationalism and division. To non-Slavs I always simplistically explain that Slavs are actually a mix of Scandinavians and local tribes that already lived in Eastern Europe. And to impress them about Russia I say that Russia has 200 different peoples, half of which are indigenous. NOT MANY foreigners know that about Russia, which is a shame in my eyes!

Slav is a genetic group. Most slavs are almost genetically similar with few exceptions like west polish. Hence slavs are a ethnic group with distinct genetic makeup from Nordic and celtic peoples.
