    Вот наш русский парень Антон Зайцев (типично русские имя и фамилия):



    Работает журналистом на ТВ.

    Поэтому, я думаю, половина фоток в твоей галлерее вполне могут принадлежать русским.

    N: I also took care to make sure that none of the Russians were actually of African descent. But even the Russians who are of solely European descent seem to have quite varied faces.

    А я думаю, что все фотки в моей галерее могут принадлежать россиянам. А русским?

    People in certain areas certainly tend to look similar to each other; however, there are many more people who have "in between" faces rather than sharply identifiable features. I personally can't differentiate between one bearded guy in his 40s to the next.

    Согласен.

    Вобщем то тоже, теоретически. Потому что русские это давно уже не кровь и не цвет кожи - это культура. Но, всё-таки на половине фоток точно нерусские и дело не в цвете кожи, разрезе глаз и т.д., что-то ещё такое есть, не могу чётко объяснить.
