The y DNA results published in
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mozhayski/teksty/ydna.html
display that a prince Lobanov-Rostovsky, a prince Shahovskoi, a Solomin, a
Mozharovsky, and two current Russian princes descending from the Starodub
line,
belong to essentially the very same y DNA, which is under the haplotype
now coded as N1c1a but mentioned as N3a1 in the table.
This haplotype is seemingly Finnic-Ugric, and shared by a lot of men in
Finland and with Finnish roots.
Ryurik and his closest had undoubtedly Norse names, not Finnic. But he is
often thought to have come from seashore of Roslagen, itself a place near
Finland and possibly earlier inhabited by Finnic tribe(s) before
german-originated Norse took over at the place.
