do russian and other slavic people have viking and greek blood in them?

Answer 1

Slavic people have nothingto do with Greeks!
Greeks are dark and short, Slavs are white, tall, beautiful.
But many Northern Greeks are former Bulgarians, i.e Slavs, since the border between Greece and Bulgaria was changed after WW||.
Genetically and culturally Slavs are much closer to Germans than to Greeks, Italians, Spanish, Albanian etc Mediterranian darker cultures.
As for Vikings, you are right, there is a Viking blood in us Slavs. That's why sometimes it's hard to tell if a person is Slavic or , let's say...Swedish.

Answer 2

I live in poland which happens to be a slavic country. As for the viking influence there must be some, even if a small percentage. Scandavia is a short hop across the baltic sea, and the slavs have a long history of engaging the scandanavian people. There was even a swedish king who once ruled poland. As for the Greeks, well maybe there was some mixing of the bloodlines when ancient greece and macedonia were empires. Overall I would say their influence on the polish or russian slavs is not worth mentioning. However the greek influence on former yugoslavia(serbia, montenegro, croatia), also slavic people, could be much greater.

Answer 3

Every Russian who claims to have a royal blood from the first royal dynasty (Ruriks) should theoretically have viking blood in her/him - Russian royalty started from vikings when Russians invited Rurik to rule them.

From Wikipedia: Among the descendants of the Rurik dynasty are noble families of Russia (Dolgorukov, Repnin, Gorchakov, Gagarin), as well as those of the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania (Ostrogski, Wareg-Massalski, Czetwertinski and others).

I don't know about Greeks for sure, but probably religious (spiritual) link through Orthodox Christianity was enforced by blood links too. And there are many Greeks living in Russia (the first democratically elected Mayor of Moscow - Gavriil Popov - is one of them)

Answer 4

Likewise, Vikings and Greeks have Slavic blood in them. Pity, the Vikings are difficult to find and check for DNA...
In fact, we are all related, we had common predecessors.
In addition, I am Russian, have red blood - cannot say what nationality it is (one of my grandmothers was Ukranian, one of my greatgrandmothers was Chuvashian)
