I was seeing a woman from Tatarstan, the double eyelid phenotypes were pronounces along with some other features that are even more common in East Asia. There are a lot of people in Russia like that.

I had never heard of that place while in the US, its just “Russia” and an image of the part bordering the EU

Yes, Some are, given that Russia "stretches over a vast expanse of Europe and Northern Asia" [1].
