A focused population profile of Russian, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Russian is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Russian with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Russian.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Russian is Russian Tver. Other nearby references include Russian Yaroslavl, Russian Novgorod, Russian Ryazan, and Russian Kursk. This gives the Russian profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Russian average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Russian profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Russian average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Russian Tver. Other nearby references include Russian Yaroslavl, Russian Novgorod, Russian Ryazan, and Russian Kursk.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Russian Tver is the closest listed match to the Russian average after removing Russian itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Russian G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
