I was going to criticize them for making C look kind of white but the rest look fairly typical to me. I don't think blue eyes and blonde hair alone is enough to categorize a depiction as 'aryan'. the Indian woman somehow looks like my aunt and sister (when the former was younger), which is tough to do if you're starting from a racist place. I think it's done in good faith.
i mean slavic countries have similar physical characteristics as the rest of northern europe. russia itself is very diverse, has many people that look east asian and central asian, has a region that is nearly all redheaded gingers (czechia has some towns like this too), blondes, etc.
I think they just wanted 1 blonde woman and that was the only chance they had for it
There are a lot of uh, Scandinavian looking Russians ever since the Western part of the country was conquered by vikings. That was pretty long ago though
Non-aryan people's existed in India before the Aryans and their culture and lineage contributes to "Indianess". Linguistically, India has many influences. In the south, non-Indo-Aryan languages are predominant.
I understand that it's probably not your intention, but getting this worked up over representing a median appearance of an entire nation is kinda :sus-deep:. Is there even a median appearance for Russians? What would be a more appropriate appearance in your mind, and why that one and not any other random example? The nation has like a hundred ethnic groups. What is even the point of you being upset about this?
Actually out of genuine curiosity, would there be a context where you'd be comfortable of a depiction of an attractive, blonde, blue-eyed woman from a nation where that isn't the main demographic?

fash depictions of aryans generally make them look germanic. this is too low fidelity to gauge whether they've made the attempt to do that or not.

The simple answer is "no"
Non-aryan people's existed in India before the Aryans and their culture and lineage contributes to "Indianess". Linguistically, India has many influences. In the south, non-Indo-Aryan languages are predominant.
This isn't exactly gratuitous, it's literally just smiling women in well-fitting clothes.
I think the idea is that they're supposed to be doing a "Captain Planet"-type multiracial ensemble.
It's not like blond hair vanishes when you cross over the border from Finland
