As to your question about descent: vast numbers of Russians living today descend from the relatively small group living around 600 AD - which, I suppose, would make most Russians "royal," from your point of view. Everyone who either has blue eyes or had a parent with blue eyes is descended from one family living in Northern Russia around 8-10,000BP, as well.Levalley (talk) 15:58, 31 March 2009 (UTC)LeValley
