Tatarstan, Burjatija, Chuvashia, Mordva.. – but i'd say, some of them look more like mongolian

What's been mentioned Yakutia (Sakha Republic) – home of Yakuts, an indigenous Siberian tribe which bear decent resemblance to Chinese people. And Buryatia, home of Buryats, a Turkoid Mongol people that I suppose one could mistake for "looking Chinese". But it should also be noted that in those remote areas around the Chinese border, excluding the two aforementioned areas (and even to a decent degree within those areas) Russian Far East is nonetheless predominantly populated with ethnic Russians (Indo European people). So don't be confused if you're in Amur Oblast, Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krai and wonder why you're surrounded with blonde and brown haired fair skin Russians. There are number of Chinese (and to lesser extent) Korean immigrants in these areas but don't confuse them for Russians.
