Results:
For estimating the genetic position of Russians among other ethnic groups of Europe and Asia genetic distances between Russians and some other populations have been calculated (Table 2) and interpreted by constructing a dendrogram (Figure 3). The estimated genetic distances between Russians and most European populations were insignificant except for Karelians and Finns; the latter occurs to be genetically distinct from other Europeans [12].
Table 2. Genetic distances between Russians (from our data) and some other populations

Ethnic group Genetic distance with Russians
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swedes 0.00006Close to russians
Estonians 0.00005
Volgo-Finns 0.00003
Bulgarians 0.00003
Germans 0.00003
Karelians 0.00005
Finns 0.00010
Turks 0.00122
Mongolians 0.00221far to russians
4. Conclusion
According to the above mtDNA diversity analysis, Russians of the Eastern-European plain are close to the European ethnic groups; the same conclusion was obtained by using biochemical markers [25, 26]. Additionally, our analysis shows some influence of Finno-Ugric ethnic group on the Russian mitochondrial pool. Our data also show that Russian populations are heterogeneous, this corresponds to anthropological data [2]. Further mtDNA analysis of samples from other regions of Russia is needed to understand the genetic structure of Russian populations.
