A lot of Russians are oriental looking!

Central and Far Eastern Russia covers the area above Mongolia, China, Japan etc. The locals look pretty similar.

Russia is pretty big.

Northern Ireland is 5,500 square miles

Russia is 6,500,000 ish square miles!

Long way round with Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGreggor shows the different peoples and all quite well actually even though they do travel in Mongolia and Kazakstan and all and not solely in Russia.

I've always wanted to travel on the Trans Siberian Railway and go right across Russia. I may do it next year when my current job finishes, just to say that I've been from one end of the country to the other!

May as well go across Alaska/Canada/the other bit of the USA and go round the world if you are going to go that far!

Don't all populations have 'a look'?
yes

When I worked at Heathrow we'd play 'guess that nationality' from appearance then try and confirm by listening to speech. Was pretty good at it after a couple of years.

That would be a great idea, though no idea what the cost would be!

I actually live and work a couple of hours east of Moscow at the moment, so I'm not too far from the first part of the journey. I'd love to jump on a ject and fly from Vladivostok to Alaska (if it's possible) and then head across country to New York. Would be a more entertaining way of going home I suppose.

agreed i can spot most european nationalitys pretty easy. For instance most Lithuanians have a flat back of the head and tend to be squat-well built little feckers.

We've got a Russian chap who has started at our Judo club. He's a Sambo wrestling champ and whilst is a really lovely chap to chat too and he's really funny he is an obsolute monster to grapple with! I dont know what they feed them in Russia but it must be good for you! He could suplex a house!

Has anyone else noticed it? You can see a Russian person on the street, and you know straight away they are Russian (or one of the smaller countries in that area).

They have far apart eyes and little noses.

I can't be the only person that has noticed this.





Is it genetics? Has the Russian facial structure altered to protect it from freezing in the cold?

Always wondered...
I wouldn't say that the look is exclusively Russian, haven't you ever been to Norfolk!

This is the only Russian I know, and yes, she does look very Russian (imo)



Can you post pics again when she hits 35? I want to test a theory that Eastern European women go into a cocoon and emerge looking like bulkier versions of Susan Boyle.
