It is interesting how roughly 75% of Russia's land is in Asia, while roughly 75% of the population lives in the European part.

[deezeed]

Had Russia kept Alaska it would've spanned 3 continents which is crazy.

[Isyida]

Russia is:
1. Politically = Asia
2. Culturally = Europe
3. Geographically = Eurasia

So, the conclusion is... Russia is in Eurasia

[JackRackam]

Personally I've always thought of Russia as a more European country, but then again Russia's very good at just doing its own thing altogether. Wasn't Pangea a simpler time?

[Lucas-jmcq]

Russia isn't in Europe, nor is it in Asia.
Russia is in the heart

[theerbtv]

Russia lays in both continents, but Russia started as country in Europe.

[LemonadetvYT]

If Russia is in europe, then Asia will become much smaller and Europe will become bigger. 😂

[BoboSLO]

russia is so big that it can be own continent ! its so big like south america!

[ignacejespers]

Putin once said the following: "Russia lies neither in Europe nor in Asia. Asia and Europe lie next to russia."

[rubenluso]

If Russia is Asian, then Denmark is North American...

[CyxxC]

Moscow is the capital city of Russia which might be that Russia is European.

[Abhisheksharma-ezvf]

Me:-In which continent Russia lies
Teacher:- We don't know but Mitochondria is the power house of cell.

[eoghanoneill]

Putin gives up trying to find out which continent Russia is in so he makes Russia it's own continent

[Anonymous-fdtb]

I am from Russia and we consider ourselves Russian not European or Asian. I am from a place about 100 miles from Asia so... it's your decision.

Definitely Europeans. Russians may have their own Russian soul that's very complex and intricate, but they consider themselves European
Russian literature, painting, classical music and ballet are not just close to European ones, they have become a solid part of the European culture, making a noticeable dent into European mentality and cultural coordinate system. For Russians, this culture is the core of their identity.
Peter the Great built St. Petersburg to mimic Venice
Tsars had their court speak French. When Tolstoy/Pushkin/Dostoyevsky wrote their masterpieces, the main language in court was French
Russians are Eastern Orthodox (a variant of Christianity), so they fall into the European camp more than the "wrong religion Asians"
Their singers compete in Eurovision
Their oligarchs own real estate in Europe, own the Chelsea Football Club in England, send their kids to study in England and launder their money through Swiss bank accounts
Russians have a very derogatory termin for anybody who comes from the 'stan (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, etc) republics which are decidedly more Asian - "чуркестан", which roughly means "idiot-stan"
Also in the European part of Russia, the lives of 75% of Russian and focuses the entire economy. Whereas in the Asian part of the lives of only 25%.

[lewislong]

tbh europe and asia should be considered as one

[panjirajawali]

Country in twin Continental:
-Indonesia 65% Asia 35% Oceania
-Russia 30% Europea 70% Asia
-Egypt 95% Africa 5% Asia
-Turkey 97% Asia 3% Europea

[Phrenotopia]

Interesting side thought: Until not so very long ago, Britain (and the Netherlands) also had huge areas in Asia. The only differences with Russia are that these areas are not contiguous with the dominant area and also that Russia still rules its Asian empire.

Some sane video about Russia in the field of shitty propaganda vids all over youtube

[nnhmdv]

Russia is а european country that took possession of North Asia, in which very few people live.
Taking into account the fact the people from central, west (Belorussia) and south (Ukraine) Russia colonizated Siberia, Siberia is a Europeanized territory like North America or Australia and New Zealand (of course, taking into account local specifics).

P.S. Russians do not think in therms of races, we think in therms of nations and ethnic groups in contrast to Western countries.
