    And the Russian federation includes several republics of central Asian peoples, who might "look" more or less Asian. This person could be Kazakh or Altai for all we know.

    To the usual russophobe all Russians are Slavic and orcs, but turns out a big country has a lot of ethnicities within it.

        Yeah and some of them are ultra religious evangalists and extreme pro Nato today because of south korean missionaries. Funfact the famous soviet singer songwriter Viktor Tsoi had korean ancestry.

          South korea's been evangelizing there lately in an attempt of wooing back enough ethnic Koreans to try and offset the declining age demographics.

          Problem is that the Kazakh Koreans have been integrating into their new home so well that should they try to expatriate back to their grandparents fatherland they actually face some racism.
