well, they aren't even that small a minority. i've personally met at least half a dozen asian russians over the last decade and seen them depicted in even the Metro games. so they got plenty to burn, so to speak. so messed up. europe is sacrificing ukrainians, russia is sacrificing asians. it's almost like they are cooperating in order to remove specific lineages from the gene pool. asians have always been a big part of the russian population. most siberians are at most one or two generations from mongolian. i know from the several southeastern european countries i've lived in there is a lot of asian genetics, bulgaria in particular is full of asian genetics, even regular bulgarians are often a bit mongol.

Bulgarians were a tribe from Asia that mixed with slavs...
