"The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian have no regard for human life and is an all out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk."
Confused on that we know the Russians came from norse men who mixed with local slavs. No different from Norman or earlier Norseman who mixed with English.
Not to mention the Norse Gaelic of Scotland and Ireland. So many Americans share these ancestors.

The Golden Horde overran Russia and controlled much of it. East of the Urals is mostly asian.
The Rus defeated them in battle in 1380 and in the next hundred years they were expelled and all tributes ceased.
Look, sometimes you hit and sometimes you miss. This was a graze, and the latter bits were definitely true.
But that's what made them so darn effective.
