Ivan Grozny was a descendant of Rurik varyag. He could not look like a Mongol. Once again, I'm telling you - Russian are one of the cleanest races on the planet. Almost all the tribes who lived next door to us all live in the same place, even in the vicinity of Moscow.
And if between the Russian nobility and associated tribes were mixed marriages, the common people avoid marrying foreign women.
There is a visible amount of Asiatic features among Russians.
I don't think its just aristocrats, I think many conquered peoples who are baptized also gradually mixed into Russians, isn't Cossacks an example to this ?
But I agree with Charon, there is little to no Mongol mixture, mostly Finno-Ugric and Turkic.
