Students from a Troitsk high-school, Russia

[Voron]

Troitsk is in Moscow region.

I do not know whether they are all ethnic Russians or not, only part of the pics had surnames.

I don't know but the fourth roll second from the right scares me.

[Leland Gaunt]

Mostly Baltid-Pontid-Uralid mixtures. What can I say? Disgusting hairstyles, nerdy smiles, crypto-mongolid eyes. People here in Saint-Pete look much better. And we have emo! Hail hail, Hitla!

I do not believe that. But you can prove me wrong by posting similar collages

Why? Baltid, Pontid phenotypes are most common among this group - some has Uralid admixture.

I expected them to look more trendy in a way. They look old-school botans to me, if you know what I mean.

Im sorry, I have no proofs of that. You caught me.

"Crypto-mongolid" my word of the week! I'll try to use it everywhere I can.

Most common are Nordic/Baltic mixes, more on the Baltic side. Few look Pontic - very few as a matter of fact, even fewer have Uralic admixture. Do not forget that Pontic means Mediterranean pretty much. Romanians are Pontic, these guys surely do not look like Romanians. North Pontic is another story, but then again I do not know what North Pontic means.

I am sorry they do not look Emo enough for you Their hairstyles are different from what I am used to see in the West, indeed, but then again this is not a forum for hair-stylists.

Well, then stop saying mean stuff about your countrymen

[Exeter]

Most of them look like ordinary Europids.

I think you should try to post pictures of college/university students. They have developed more and are therefore better classication subjects.

Can you find pictures of south Russian regions?

[Voron]

South Russians would be more on the Nordic/North Pontic side, imo. Yeah, I'll try to find some photos.

[Voron]

After an hour of browsing I did not find anything. It is hard to find good individual photos unless you accidentally bump into them, so no pics for southern Russia.

I can spot couple of Nordids but that's it. Most of them pred. baltid with other mixtures (probably influence of some other ethnicities and minorities).

Im talking mostly about the guys. Those terrible hairstyles makes me wanna call local barber asap.

[Voron]

Your idea of Nordid is scando-nordid, mine is more broad with an accent on morphology rather than pigmentation. There are about 20-25 individuals fitting this type, around 20-25 fitting Nordid-Baltid with Nordid dominating, about 50 Baltid and the rest being other mixes.

[Voron]

I guess it is considered to be cool whatever is currently considered to be cool in America. Otherwise your haircut will not be trendy enough and your smile nerdy.

America sets fashion standarts for the whole world. And young people who wants to look cool live everywhere. I see emo guys almost everyday here - tight jeans, pinky (yeah, pinky) trainers, bleached raven black hair covering half on the face. You know that kind of "whatever"-expression.
Goths, metalheads - other influences come from America.
