Well, there's only three of them. But I do kind of agree. The Mongols and the Russians are way below the standard set. And the Russian Males + more Males set is really depressing.
Are Russian Women Drag Queens?

I think Russian or Ruthenian ancestry often gives you a rather pronounced lower jaw bone, male or female.
I have never seen a really feminine Russian girl. And many Russian women I actually have seen have had jaws like that.
So... the big problem is that the new Russian women aren't feminine enough?
I don't mean feminine as code for "hot" - it's not that superficial. It's more about a lack of diversity. Not every Russian woman's jaw/cheek bones should be large
I have. Have you actually been to Russia?
I find they're either very beautiful or very ugly. No in between.
You guys should play in Mali more. The women Portraits are literally just men with longer hair. You know you have an issue when you are wondering why that Woman your trying to marry turns out to be a dude. I even messed around with with the African Face's in the editor and it's pretty bad.
Yeah the African ones are pretty bad. I can't tell whether they're men or women or girls or boys.
To be honest I thought it was hard to tell African males and African females apart because the females had short hair (which is common in much of sub-Saharan Africa), rather than the fact that they actually looked like the men - looking at them I can tell them apart, at least if I look closely.
That's a good idea for a mod. Bayeux tapestry style portraits? Take my money.
I don't know what the problem is, I think this is actually one of the best portrait packs yet, at least they look more realistic than the vanilla portraits which seem a bit more 'polished' and 'shiny' than realistic in appearance.
What do you Anglo and Scando buggers have against Svetlanas?
Slavic women are more robust than compared to the rest of European ones, but I just see it as a plus because they will last longer than their Germanic counterparts.

Agreed, except that I think the African set is also bad. It has the same problem every DLC set has in that there's not enough variety and every character looks the same. And actually, I think these criticisms apply to the original two portrait sets as well, albeit to a lesser extent.
Personally I don't know why Paradox went with these ugly 3D wax faced models when they could have chosen a more stylish 2D illuminated manuscript aesthetic, but c'est la vie...

The funny thing is: in this part of Europe large jaws are mostly associated with German women.
I...spent like 5 minutes laughing after I seen with my own eyes the Russian elf - Ivan Legolaslovich.
Yes very much so. Even more when the woman is heavy set and bald. Maybe it is just me but the noses seem mostly masculine looking.
