they call this Russian mobster "The Taiwanese"

check out his pic.

 

kinda makes Taiwanese look bad I suppose. The thug looks more east asian in his appearnace, but much of the former USSR is in Asia right?

 

Book 'em, Tokhtakhounov-o!

(doesn't have the same ring)

He looks more polynesian to me, but then again I am caucasian.

 

Mongolian, perhaps?

 

This guy likes to fix things... parties, pageants, now skating competitions...

 

A lot of Russian, especially the ones near those disputed islands with Japan look asian. I was watching some sumo wrestling once with my Mom and some huge guy that looks white was fighting. I asked my Mom where he was from and she said he was from northern Japan. The further north you go, the more you look Russian.

 

Russians, unlike what we see on TV, is a melting pot of sorts. Tartars are Asians that speaks Russian.
