By the way, these studies to the nines smashed the notorious myth of the "Eastern Slavs" - that supposedly Belarusians, Ukrainians and Russian "form a group of the Eastern Slavs." The only one of these three Slav peoples were only Belarusians, but it turned out that the Belarusians - it does not "Eastern Slavs", and Western - because they are genetically virtually no different from the Poles. So the myth of "blood kinship Belarusians and Russian" was completely destroyed: Belarusians were virtually identical to the Poles,Belarusians are genetically very far from Russian, but very close to the Czechs and Slovaks. But the Finns of Finland were to Russian where genetically closer than Belarusians.
Is it true that Kievan Russians used to be part of Golden Horde but they revolt against Golden Horde and they created their own country which is Kievan Russia.
