Someone asked to see what "Oriental" Russians look like. Below are pictures of all 27 members of the Hockey team "Motor Barnaul." 26 have Slavic surnames (7 Ukrainian surnames, and 19 Russian surnames), one is a definite Uzbek. Comments welcome.
Edit: can't hotlink to the images. Here is the link to the site: www.motor.barnaul.ru/roster
#34 is an Uzbek. All others have Slavic surnames, but all Siberian ethnics (Yakuts, Buryats, etc...) have adopted Slavic surnames as well, so correlating surname with ethnicity is rather problematic.
