Abstract: Population structure of Russian population from the European part of Russia was investigated by analyzing the distribution of 23 SNP makers of Y chromosome in Russian populations from Kaluga oblast, Yaroslavl' oblast, Vladimir oblast, Nizhny Novgorod oblast, Pskov oblast, Tula oblast, Belgorod oblast, and Novgorod oblast. In the populations studied a total of 14 Y-chromosome haplogroups (E, F*, I, J, K*, N3a, N2, P*, R1*, R1a1, C3, H, and A) were discovered, of which haplogroups R1a1, I, and N3a were the prevailing. Analysis of Phi statistics in the populations grouped in accordance to the dialect subdivision of the Russian language, showed the absence of statistically significant differences between Russian population groups. Analysis of the Y-chromosome markers distribution patterns among Russian population (10 population groups) in comparison with the population of Germany (11 population groups) revealed statistically significant differences between the gene pools of Slavs (Russians and Poles) and Teutons (Germans).
