And as I remember even in Third Reich documents majority of Ukrainian population was described as dinarids and pontids like balkans.

You could just search any 19th century painting of Ukrainian women and you wouldn’t find any blond trad valkyrie. Same with folk song and literature, the image of beautiful women is always described as black haired, tanned, dark browed and brown eyed.
