they are sadly lacking in knowledge of history,ethnography and related subjects.
Yes, it is true that there is a connection between parts of Russia (and Poland) and the very white Scandinavian nations.
But Russia is far from purely “white” as a people.
After all, much of what is now Russia was dominated by Asiatic peoples, some of Turkic background, many of Mongol origin, and there was a lot of intermarriage.
Many famous figures in Russian history had Asiatic blood in their background, for example the composer Rimsky-Korsakov, but also some of the most famous Tsars, including Boris Gonunov, Ivan IV (“the Terrible”) and Peter I (“the Great).
More than a few people looking at the face of Vladimir Putin see especially around his eyes signs of possible Mongol heritage, although I am uanware of either a claim by Putin or a genetic test.
Further, the expansion of the Russian Empire to the East brought in people of many backgrounds, and those backgrounds did not stay in the geographic areas where they were — there were people who came to Moscow and St.Petersburg. Some have argued that almost 50% of those in the Moscow area have some Asiatic blood in their background.
The Russian Orthodox Church actively sought to bring the new peoples of the Empire into the Church — one of the four great theological academies, that in Kazan, was dedicated to this task, including translating the Gospel and other materials into all the languages of the Empire.
And then there is the man generally acknowledged to be Russia’s greatest poet. Sorry to tell you, those of you in the KKK, that you would not consider him for membership: one great-grandfather had been kidnapped from Africa (probably modern day Cameroon) as a youth. wound up by way of the Levant being given to the household of Peter the Great,where he rose to high rank. Pushkin was an Octaroon, someone 1/8 Black.
But then, it might be interesting to do genetic testing on some of those so active in these White supremacist and related organizations. They might be surprised to find what lurks in their own background.
In any case, if you are looking for a pure “white” European nation, you are in the 21st Century goin to be hard put to find such an example. Hitler was wrong about the Germans when he was advocating for a pure Volk — it didn’t exist then, and no such exists today.
You want an ethnically pure country that is industrialized, you are probably limited to Japan. But that doesn’t work for the Richard Spencers and their ilk, does it?
