@ixaos nevertheless, thank you for the reference to "Устав о Брацех." i HAVEN'T looked enough at the history of mating patterns in russia...
@ixaos or is it some other diff that you're thinking of? (and could you, please, point me to some references. i am genuinely interested!)

@hbdchick comparison with other Slavs could be more helpful if there's data on Eastern Europe about cousin inbreeding -
@ixaos there's no a lot of info on the history of mating patterns in eastern europe out there. *in english* anyway. =/ -
@hbdchick that's bad. W/o info we can only speculate abt how much they were inward breeding -
@ixaos ...the numbers were not insignficant by the reaction of christian missionaries to the pagans of northern europe. they were appalled.. -
@hbdchick I don't like subjective emotions eg appalled as a reliable source of data -
@ixaos ...the time you will NOT find historians to be in agreement on an issue! in this case, they are. -
@hbdchick you see, I'm not arguing whether there was an issue or not. However the exact extent of it - 10%, 20%... remains in cloud, right? -
@ixaos absolute cloud, yes. (^_^) it's just that most people reckon that a big deal *wouldn't* have been made if it had just been 10%... - 7 more replies

@hbdchick I don't know and there's lack of data, but I do know that Russian culture is very different from West EuropeanThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
