Possibly the most famous facial reconstruction, Timur the Lame (1336-1405) and his son Shah Rukh (1405-1447).
Ivan the Terrible and his (third) wife, Marfa Sobakina
(there's way too many other members of Ivan's family with facial reconstructions, like his Byzantine grandmother Sophia Paleolog, so I won't post them all)

Gokturks, reconstructed from skeletal remains found in kurgans.
