There's some truth to that, by the way. It's no accident that Slavs all speak similar languages, though there was outside influence from other languages (that's inevitable), and there were also internal and external migrations of all sorts. In that sense, it wouldn't be too difficult to trace a common origin among all Slavs, despite local influences... and, from that, a common origin between Slavs and Germanic peoples, and Latins, and pretty much everyone in Europe, with quite a few exceptions. |
wouldn't you say rurik is the common link for east europeans? he came from scandanivia and established rus'. although eastern europeans don't really look scandanivian but i say that comes from rus' being oppressed by the mongols for a good 200 years...lots of mixing. serbians have turkish blood because of the ottomans. so maybe serbs and russians look similar because the serbs had their own darker skinned oppressors. |
