here is a YDNA map, Russians seem to fit in with other Eastern Euros more than Turks do. I'm not sure why you even care so much about this

Kek. Literally no possible way to draw a clear line of what race is what via genetics. It's entirely a linguistic and social determination. Look at this chart. Where does the white race begin, and where does it end? And how do you reconcile this with the fact that the definition of "white race" historically has always been changing, is different in different locations, and will continue to change in the future.

Genetic makeup of humans is a fluid thing, it is spectral. If this map continued out into the rest of the world you would see that it would continue to slowly change, and change, and there would be no clear divisions of what race is what. Race is not a rigid and concrete thing, which is why it will continue to change throughout the future. All of the races will continue to change in the future. Who is the "black race?" African peoples were not always considered one people, and still aren't in many parts of the world. Who is the "asian race"? To you, Mongolian and Vietnamese people are probably of the same race, yet historically, and locally, to these people this is not the case at all. As these categories expand, change, and mix with one another, they eventually all point in the same direction: negation.

Being attached to your own race as if it were something that were supposed to exist forever is stupid. Civilizations, peoples, and nations rise, and they eventually fall and give way to the new. What are you afraid of? Why is this so important to you? You are not your race, your nation, or whatever - you are part of a temporary and historical category that exists because it has currency.
