Итак, публикую комментарии и калькуляцию профессора МакДоналда по мою душу...
And that is probably the key. Russian nobles had a far greater
connection to the West .. and to Byzantium .. than the normal
Eastern European. True, most Byzantine connections were female,
but there must have been the occasional male. I myself have one
line to Russia ... and it is the famous one where the daughter of
Harold, loser in 1066, married the Grand Duke of Kiev. There are
numerous Byzantines (all female of course). Of course, if you have a very long
and good paper trail in the all-male line, you'd have to look at that.
J is not as rare as normally supposed: for example, in our equally
(to you) northern group, we have a few J men.
In any case, my computer program confirms J male haplotype.

We do two types of tests. One is like 23andme's "Advanced Global
Similarity", except that we do more "dimensions". For people with
ancestry outside Europe four of these are shown; for pure Europeans our
World graph is essentially identical to 23andme's so instead we show
our European graph, which includes (at lower right) the Adygei, a tribe
living on the eastern shores of the Black Sea. The higher dimensions do not
give additional information for pure Europeans so they are not shown.
You are shown as the large cross. Other testees may be shown as white diamonds.
Indeed you look exactly as you say you should, though quite Polish rather than
pure Moscow Russian (as are the comparison people labeled Russian). Your spot
is more western than Eastern Russian, just as 23andme has it.
We also do quantitative tests. These come in three flavors, first
without South Asia (represented by Pakistan) and the Mideast, second
with South Asia, and finally with all three, as comparison panels.
The typical random error in the data (standard deviation) is 1%, meaning
that numbers less than about 2% are not highly significant. There are also
systematic errors. In particular, there is cross-coupling of values for
Europe, the Mideast and S. Asia. For example, on the middle panel, a pure,
northwestern European measures about 9% S. Asian, and on the third panel
they typically measure 4.5% Mideastern and 8% S. Asian. Actual people from
South Asia or the Mideast always test at least 15% European.
For each test person, specific comments may be added below.
Europe 95.7%
Oceania 1.1%
America 2.8%
Africa 0.3%
E. Asia -0.2%
Europe 89.0%
S. Asia 9.2%
Oceania 0.6%
America 2.4%
Africa -0.2%
E. Asia -1.4%
Europe 86.3%
Mideast 3.8%
S. Asia 8.6%
Oceania 0.6%
America 2.4%
Africa -0.7%
E. Asia -1.4%
These are completely normal for a Russian or Pole or mixed Russian-western
European. The rather high American is always seen in such people for
completely unknown reasons.
