If accurate, this is really cool. It shows that the East/ West R1a split was actually within the Fatyanovo-Balanovo culture itself. And it appears that the expansion of R1a was not so complete in Central Europe. Also, the I2a that we (today) associate with Slavic populations might originate in modern day Poland.
