Are there different types of Russians (racially/ethnically)?

Russians have several ethnic groups. Some in the Siberian region, for example, are Inuit related. Some in the south have immigrants from a good portion of West Asia and even the Mediterranean and Middle East. Russia is pretty huge and connected to a lot of cultures, so you can see a large variety of body types, skin color, and hair. A piece of trivia. The original vikings (people that used boats to conquer villages and trade along the rivers) were known as the Rus.

Answer: yes there are, but I haven't noticed a predominant skin color.

Mila Kunis is neither Russian nor Ukrainian. She has no Slavic blood. She is Jewish (that's an ethnicity; a Jewish person can be born in any country). Irina Shayk is only half Russian, and half Tatar. She looks like a Tatar for the most part. Tatars are a Muslim ethnic group of people living in Russia. They usually have dark hair and darker skin.
Overall there are all kinds of Russians. There are about 150 million people living in Russia, and just like in the US there are blond people, and then there are people with dark hair. Most Russians have light skin but dark hair (more like brownish hair). There are a lot of blondes too, but mostly dark blondes. They dye their hair to seem lighter.

Yes. Russia is huge and encompasses many different peoples. However, keep in mind a common and age old mistake in categorizing different ancestral groups is to assume appearance represents genetic disparity. It's possible there have long been both dark complected and fair complected ethnic Russians within the same stable population. As they say, phenotype is not genotype and vice versa.

Mila Kunis is ukranian, so is Irina Shayk. They are considered white ethnicity, just different nationality. Most Russian however are slavs. The nationalities got mixed up a lot during Mongolian invasion, that s why a lots of people who live in south Russia have asian look in them. Pure russians have light skin and hair, and have blue or grey eyes.

Yes, the very term Rus used to determine people with red hair who colonized the Don and Volga river plains in 9th century and were descendants of the Vikings. Other Russian racial component is predominantly of the Slavic origin ( as well as the Russian language ) and they usually have dark hair and high cheek bones. There are off course also those with Asian origin as the Russia is known to be the largest country on the planet and in Siberia there are numerous people who are believed to be ancestors of all the native Americans. Allegedly they used to cross the Bering strait in winter time when it is covered by snow and ice thus becoming American Indians...

The Swedes were on expeditions to the east and as far as Constantinople back in the day. They were all up and down the Volga and through area now called Belarus too. Before Constantinople fell this was very much a peaceful trading venture.

They left much of their genes there. See Byelorussia too. (Belarus)

From the other direction (central Asia to west) came The Huns ! http://www.ancient.eu/Huns/

Swedes were active in asserting themselves in Poland and the Baltic states later too.

The brutality has origins in the Mongol Hordes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Rus%27

The Russians got the message eventually: They would have to get mean and powerful to protect themselves.

Still a struggle much later with Napoleon and Hitler. Even success is depleting when there has been great struggle.

The Battle of Stalingrad ranks with the most major battles of all history, maybe exceeds most all.

Russians and Germans poured men, weapons and supplies into this huge meatgrinder and it was a total waste, even though Russia was victorious. You know what I mean? All remaining can hardly stand up from the exhaustion, all is rubble, frozen dead bodies everywhere, and wholly inadequate food and clothing?

Do you really know? You should check it all out very carefully.

The Germans were very, very BRUTAL under Hitler, and the Russians became likewise, thus only about 600 of Von Paulus' Stalingrad troops returned home eventually after WWII (remainder of 90,000 killed as far as I know, non-detail historian I am, so could be wrong somewhat; battle killed 1000 Germans/day quite often).

You really have to see the videos for long time, no description would appear true elsewise, the battle was awful beyond belief.

It will help you to understand how Russians became as they are, all of this answer.

Just like the US of A and most other countries around the globe there are lots of major and minor ethnic people that make up the country at large. Much of the ethnicity has been there from ancient times whereas some has been acquired through the immigration of people from various countries for various reasons such as work, humanitarian, labor, skills etc etc.

The world is a beautiful collection of varied human beings if only we would all learn to be humane and deal with each other in "civilized and amicable" fashion we would be in a better place collectively and individually.

Just think of all the resources we waste in war globally and on security within each neighborhood, city, county, state, region, country, continents etc etc.

Mila Kunis is Ukrainian/Jewish
Irina Sheik is not Russian, she's another ethnicity but living in Russia

Briefly saying, Russia is inhabited by different ethnicities, real Russians are Slavic - pale skin, not-black eyes( very rarely black eyes), mostly blond hair.
