You can post all the carefully selected images you want of blond, Scandinavian-looking Russians, but it won't change the fact that most Russians and surrounding Slavic populations actually look like this:
What about these types? Do you honestly expect anyone to believe your examples of northern slavs are more representative as a whole than these:
They don't look Scandinavian. But they sure aren't the swarthy types you posted.
Now of course there is a slant eyed element in Russia, more prominent toward the east, but if you think your samples are representaitve of northern slavs as a whole, then you're delusional, stupid, or both.
Actually, only a couple of those pics are of Northern Slavs. Of course, they do not represent the Europid population of Russia/Bielorussia/Northern Ukraine.

Russians and Ukrainians, IMO, are more eastern slav than northern. And I believe I've read before that the primary Byelorussian stock is Baltic and not Slavic. I typically consider Poland to be the most substantially northern slavic land.
By Scandinavian, I refer mostly to Hallstatt types. I don't think a Swede would mistake them as fellow countrymen.
