    People in Eastern Russia

    What are their facial features/physical appearance like? Do they resemble the Native Americans in North America, or Japanese people? I'm just curious.

    What is that? Did you mean - as in Moscow?

    Of course there are many other people. I was talking about traditional, original language groups of the Russian Far East.

    Sounds as if the "Far East" of Russia is really "not Russia" but "Asia".
    As we say in America "What goes 'round, comes 'round!"
    DO IT YOURSELF!
