Classify Soviet Leaders from Lenin-Gorbachev. It appears to me some of them defintely have a mongoloid strain. Your thoughts please.

Interesting picture in your picture Tifilis. I've never seen Stalin depicted like that. Andropov looks like Kissenger if you ask me. Jewish?
Oh! I forgot to check Andropovs picture. No, he hasn't got any Nordic in him, but it looked like it in his younger pics. Jewish? No, I don't think so.

I would appreciate it if you saved the pictures in .jpg format. The size would be much smaller.
The book 'Lenin: A New Biography' by D. Volkogonov (Free Press, NY, 1994) says that, according to files in the KGB archives, Lenin was a mix of Russian, Tatar, Volga German, Swedish and Jewish - for what that information is worth.Originally Posted by Tifilis
Andropov apparently had some Finno-Karelian ancestry, although he was basically Russian.
A magazine article from 1982/3 (in The Atlantic Monthly, I think) claimed that Andropov was partly-Jewish, and also that he spoke fluent English, preferred Whisky to Vodka, and listened to American Jazz music records. However, no evidence was ever produced to substantiate any of these claims.Originally Posted by Northern_Paladin
