I knew a dude on kik who was tartar

looked like a hapa

Timur was probably a hapa too

People call Cossack and others mongoloids because most of us have brown eyes

Probably because we are part caucasoid

Wasn't Tamerlane like Turkic and Mongol, coming from a turkified Mongol clan.

Cossack, aren't Cossacks, Eastern Europeans though?

@National Trotskyist yeah

Timur was "the product of an islamized and iranized society", and not steppe nomadic

Cossacks are Eastern European Ukro-Russian group, but they colonised Caucasus, Siberia and Far East if I remember right.

yeah Ukraine sounds right

I used to think they were Kazakhs, lol

long ago

Yeah I think the word source is similar.

Qazak - Turkic for Freeman.

A Russian told me they find that very insulting

when people make that mistake

Lole.

Cossacks used to speak their own dialect, called balachka.

I am Cossack related

Ikr

And I have 1 or two Georgian relatives

@Deleted User Oh what kind of Georgian

just regular

or Abkhazian/Ossetian?

Stalin was actually from an Ossetian group, and Ossetians are Iranic, and also mixed into Hungary and Croatia

Alexander Slavros of Ironmarch mentioned that Stalin was an Ossetian thing.

In his ethnic-make up of the Soviet regime post, I wish I archived it.

nice

Yeah Ossetians also have a big partipication in the Uatsdin, last surviving Pagan Iranic religion.

Some IronMarch books were good, but I hate the American Futurist shit

As they see Orthodoxy as associated with Gruzians or Russians.

Oh, never knew that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uatsdin
Check this, I learned of that from Dugin.

the ones in S.Ossetia rebelling in 2008

were all Orthodox

I know Russia has at times tried to suppress regional identities though like Armenian for example, despite usually be close

What I find strange is how many freaking Russians are there in Armenia, Gruzia or Azerbaijan.

But practically none in the Russian Caucasus.

Where it's a place like Tuva, they're afraid to go to and still majority native.
