Where did vikings intermarry with slavs?

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.
