russians are slavic ; tatars are turkic – here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_peoples , scroll down and see pictures of their brunch. Tatarstan is republic inside federation, they got their own language, religy and goverment, president; they are not russian in any sense. There are tatars from republic tatarstan (Russian Federation), from ukraine (occupators from the age of mongol-turk yoke) and belarusia. Tatars and proto turks from turkmenistan are not europead. Modern turks from turkey are turkmeni mixed with anatolian greek, kurdish, georgian etc.
You are totally right, but 43 idiots low rated you
You are ridiculous because Russians are not pure Slavic since the Tatar-Mongol invasion that had lasted for over 300 years. Every single Russian human has now Tatar blood in him. Moreover most of the people who call themselves Russians are all mixed with other ethnicities (usually those ones who dwell within Russia or nearby countries). In most cases anyway. So get your facts straight.
Again another Idiot passing their opinion as fact, when you have no proof of that being true. Russian continue to be Slavic til this day.
Now every White American has American Indian and some African and that is FACT. European Americans are not White. Get your facts striaght!
I’m not gonna argue coz I’m Russian myself:) And my great-grandmother is pure tatar. What is your nationality btw?
I’m not arguing the existence of Tatars in Russia, they are a minority. Irina Shayk is living proof of that. But you are talking out of your ass. No proud Russian would admit to such crock. You are Tatar so…
I’m Eastern and Northern European.
Have you ever been to Russia man? Admitting that Tatars are minority is such a ridiculous. Just come to my country and you will see whats going on in reality. Dont just make your opinion of what you have read in Wikipedia or smth like that.
You make me laugh. Amitting that Russians are Tatars is what really ridiculous. Just ask any REAL Russian. Inferiority complex is not a pretty thing. Now stop trolling you TART.
Why you are afraid of combining Eastern and Northern European into simply Jewish?:) haha ну ты и лох
I am not Jewish.
And why are you afraid of coming out as an ignorant American pretending to be Tatar-Russian to push your racist agenda? hahaahahahah
Why is there always someone who thinks to know best about a different ethnicity are you anthropologists or experts in race study? Are there seriously still people that discuss whether russians are white or not now tell wth do you think russians are then?? This is just a mess some people even saying she looks part black bc of her lips thats a joke right since when are black people the only ones with full lips? East Europeans tend to have plump lips I guess some people think white must be nord european you should really educate yourself before you annoy people with your ignorance.
this is not about her lips, but she really looks mixed, she is exotic, but her Russian mother is white and her lips a little big:http://facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151263354239866&set=a.10150131342624866.299009.341875219865&type=1&theater
this is the quote that I found about her.
“Shayk was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia. She says she inherited her unusual looks from her father and she has said that people often think she is South American. “My father was dark skinned, because he was Tatar, sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian,” she says. “I get my light eyes from my mother.” “
I dont doubt that she is more than Russian of course its a fact I wouldnt necessarily call it “mixed” though. Tatar is a complicated topid bc it had many meanings but her father probably is Krim-Tatar who are related to Turks but there are i.e also Volga-Tatars who live in Russia that are Bulgars. Due to her father her skin is more tanned but her facial stracture doesnt strike me as inter-racial its just a typical slavic face. I still dont get where black would come in?? Russians or East Europeans in general dont really have a history of black genetics unlike Americans or maybe other western nations. One could figure Russia is one of the least likely places to find African ancestry. I may be wrong but some people sound like they desperately want to find an explanation why she has those feautures and wont realize some caucasians look “exotic” compared to other Europeans without being mixed. You still dont know anything about European Ethnology never mind particular ethnicities and i dont know how African study could qualify you. It just proves how fixed you are on African genes and how eager to find it anywhere. Why do you even care about what she is your theory is so random. Just keep out of their business and dont confuse other nations with your American History.

I guess your last part of your comment was directed to me. Africana Studies and African Diaspora,tells you about the history of black people,and where they were in the world.Now when you study the Diaspora,you study what black people were doing there,therefore you have to study the history of the place.Now your using the biggest cliche in the world(it might have happen over there,but not here).Then you completely ignore the facts I put right in front of you.Abram Petrovich Gannibal(a major-general in the Russian Empire),who was Alexander Pushkin Grandfather was black.That alone proves my point,and all his descendants are white.However did you look anything up,probably not.Because a person like yourself deals strictly emotions,not facts.Did you check out anything about the Ottoman Empire.They have thousands and thousands of black people(slaves and soldiers)

Now looking at this picture,your going to tell me that there were no black people in Russia?Now I may be wrong ,but some people sound so desperate,That they will find any other explanation ,to keep from admitting someone may have African heritage. Which I find is something that’s very common,with certain people.
It’s amazed me how you can be on this site,seeing all the mixtures on here,and still say the stuff you do.Assimilation has been happening for thousands of years,and the bigger group always wins. I could give you fact after fact,but I can see you’re the type of person that would ignore them.You asked why I care,I don’t care.You made a reply to someones comment,because you thought that person was wrong.I made a reply,because I knew you were wrong,that’s how the site works.You say don’t confuse you with America.Well I hate to break it to you ,but race mixing as it’s called,happen long before America was even thought of.Your taking this harder than she probably ever would.Now for the record,how is saying she may have African heritage hurting her?What she want be pretty anymore to you if she does?Now you people can thumb this down all you want,doesn’t make it incorrect.

Don’t take this the wrong way,but your guilty of the same thing.Are you an anthropologists or experts in race study?Now I don’t have a degree in race studies(mines is in tech),However my brothers degree is in race study(African and African Diaspora Studies )to be precise.Now I can tell you this,there was no magic barrier .Nothing kept black people out of any of those countries.No barrier for Russia,Europe,Middle East,or Asian,blacks were everywhere.She doesn’t truly know what’s in her background,neither do you and I don’t either.No one truly knows what’s in their background,they go by what their told.Names don’t mean squat,People (especially black people) tend to adopt names,like the people their around.George Bridgetower (Afro-polish),Alexandre Dumas(french),Francis Barber lived in England,and Alexander Pushkin(Russian).What all these people have in common,is all of their descendants are white.Now yes white have full lips,however it’s not usually a cold climate trait.So they most likely received it from a mixed background, probably generations ago.England has been lying for the pass 100yrs,about how the country really was.How they have been digging up African remains,an keeping quiet about it.Their just now bring this information to the people.Look at the Brown Babies project,that (England,Germany,France,Korea etc) were part of.How they send Thousands of half black babies to the States in the 40’s.Only the mixed babies who could pass for the people around them,were allow to stay.Have to cut this short,but there are all kinds of things about the past,that you guys don’t seem to know.So she could very well have recent black heritage,and not know.Look at Marisa Tomei black bloodline,it’s obvious someone been lying in her family.
