    Tatar means she is of Turkic (Turkish Origin).

    • aps says:

      Tatars are closer to Mongolians. But it is wrong to say that the Tartars=Mongolians or =Turks!! This is a separate nation, which has common roots with these peoples, but very silly to say that she is of Turkish origin!

      • Lana says:

        I’m just curious, where did you get that information from? Tatars and Mongolians don’t even look the same! Tatars are Turkic, no one could deny the fact, Tatars call themselfs “Tatartörk” which means Tatarian-Turks.
        Tatars are a subdivision of the turkic people. Oh and sure, they are not Turks, but related to Turks. By the way Turks are also a subdivision of the main group of the Turkic people.

        • Maria says:

          Shut up stupid cunt not my problem you keep making comment that make yourself look foolish. I`m not talking to you i`m commenting on a public page get a life.Didn`t everybody come from Africa originally why you so shocked that anybody else but a black person would have big lips.There is black people with small lips so does that mean they are white lol

          • SparkleTime says:

            This site has a warped vision of race. If you have big lips, it must mean you are part black. If you have almond-shaped eyes, it must mean that you are part Native or Asian. If you have high cheekbones, it must mean you are part Native. If you have any unusual features or dark features, it must mean you are not white at all.

            It’s actually quite dumb.

      lmfao you need to do some serious research. iranians, indians, moroccans, pakistanis and everyone else in those genes can have very pouty lips. slavic women are known for commonly having very pouty lips, too. saxon english women also tend to. and if you knew anything about typical russian facial features, you’d know russians can have very full lips, too. obviously the lip shapes differ between different ethnic groups, but that’s all. same shit, different continents mate.

    She looks mixed, she reminds me alot of Adriana Lima ..
    When I first this hot mama on the sports illustrated magazine, I thought damn this chick is deff brazilian! Well I stand corrected.
    Ps what does russian Tatar means?

    • ann says:

      I think it means that her father Tatar from Russia. Tatars are from other countries (Turkey, Uzbekistan ect). But the large number of them, all the same in Russia, about 6 million.

    • Dee says:

      There’s a republic of Tatarstan inside Russian Federation (hence federation and not a republic, there are over 15 different republics that make up Russia). Tatars are not Mongol, like someone wrote above! Tatars are closer related to Turks (language, culture, religion, etc.).
