A previous answer is inappropriate, it reflects a complete luck of knowledge in evolution and genetics, and history,
people who live in north regions are usually light haired, with fair skin, it is s a result of adaptation to environment, among them are Swedes, Finns, Russians, and others in far north,
if you go more south people are more darker, among them south Russians, Germans, or Italians, etc, it depends for how long their ancestors resided in north climate,
Russians in north are not blond because they got it from Vikings, they were blond before they mixed with Vikings, usually dark skin and dark hair is more dominant, so if fair Vikings mixed with dark Russians, it would be more probable that they offspring became darker than original Vikings,
In Germany you have blond Germans, and dark hair Germans, like Hitler for example.
There are no ethnically pure nations, Russians did mix with Vikings, and many other nations. Consult history books about the beginnings of first Russians states, like Kievan Rus.
VIKINGS took over land controlled by Slavs
russia
In Slavic languages such as Russian the Vikings are known as the Varyags (Varangians in English). The Vikings plied many of the riverine systems of what is today Ukraine, Russia and Belarus establishing trade, and later a political kingdom over the ancient Slavs. This period also created a common ancestral descent between the tribes due to political dominion.

Slavs and Vikings
The Slavs originally lived in what is now Russia. Then the vikings from Scandinavia began raiding and later conquering the land, much as they did in Britain and France. So the two cultures that blended together in Russia were the Slavs and the Vikings.

The Vikings were the people who first settled in Russia. Russia is considered to be the first united East Slavic state.
The first people to inhabit it and call it something resembling "Russia" were the Varangians, specifically the Rus' tribe.

the Slavs did settle in Belarus and Ukraine.
