Аннотация

We studied the Y-chromosome pool of the ethnic Russian population of Novgorod oblast (Russia) by 49 SNP and 17 STR markers. The total sample (N = 191) consists of four populations of the Novgorod region, including its southwestern (Shelon Pyatina) and eastern (Bezhetsk Pyatina) parts. Altogether, these four populations represent both the area of the Sopki archaeological culture (supposedly linked with the Novgorod Slovens tribe known from the chronicles) and the area of the Long Barrows culture (supposedly linked with the Krivichi Slavic tribe or with Balts). The pronounced genetic differences between southern and northern Russian populations are well known from previous studies; however, the Novgorod gene pool turned out to be neither northern nor southern, but a representative of the intermediate buffer zone. This zone was identified in this study and included a set of regional Russian populations from Pskov in the west to Kostroma in the east. All four studied populations of Novgorod region are genetically similar. The minor differences among them might represent the medieval Slavic migrations along the rivers, which survived despite the massive demographic shifts during the following history. Haplogroup N3 comprises one-fifth of the Novgorod pool of paternal lineages, with conditionally “Finnic” N3a4 and conditionally “East Baltic Sea Coast” N3a3 clades being almost equally frequent. The N3a3 phylogenetic network revealed the specific “Balto-Slavic” cluster of STR haplotypes, which is frequent in Baltic-speaking Lithuanians but infrequent in Finno-Ugric speaking Estonians. The Novgorod haplotypes lie outside this cluster, indicating that the Novgorod population received both N3a3 and N3a4 from Finno-Ugric speaking populations of the region, which, in turn, acquired the Mesolithic gene pool of the Northeastern Europe.
