Maybe all the above. Needless to say, all these women were "bred" quite extensively. I think there may have even been a movie about this once.

And that's why (as the story goes) to this day, that general area of eastern Russia and Ukraine has one of the highest concentrations of drop-dead gorgeous women anywhere in the world.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable in history can chime in and tell the story much better.
