Today there is a popular trend to look at all historic ethnic groups as some garden of Eden people, where they are all blonde, fair-haired, blue-eyed and fair skinned. This is however only a thesis supported by radical groups promoting some sort of Aryan perspective on history. Truth is Slavs were just like other Europeans (including Scandinavians) mostly brown light-haired. There is plenty of dark haired Slavs, and among southern areas of Russia, Ukraine or Balkan Slavs dark hair and darker shade of skin pigmentation is common as it would be expected. There are even Slavic ethnic groups as Pomaks that aren’t exactly what you would imagine how ancient Slavs used to look according to some of those myths.
