Eurasia, technically :)

Of course it is in Europe Continent. No doubt about it!!

madpretzel

wow.

althought it falls halfway between both,
it's still considered a european country.

i guess it's because all the russians look like europeans more than they do asians and because half of the asian part of russia is uninhabited and will probably remain that way until the next 2,000 years, when the earth's axis shift and the ice melts off

Asian by landmass, European by culture, African by the level of intellect of Russian politicians and quality of the roads=)

From the Belarus border to the Ural Mountain region it is Europe, from Ural region to the Russian Far East it is Asia.

Uncle John

It's half and half- or at least it was when it was in the Soviet Union. It's officially in Eastern Europe.

Russia is a continent by itself.,but is surely a European country

Geogrpahically it's both. Mentally - it depends whom you ask. Russians think that they are more Europeans. Western Europeans think that Russians are Asians.

Both - half is in Europe and half - in Asia. It's Eurasia

It is both as is Turkey and Kazakhstan. The Black Sea, Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains forms what is considered the boundary between the two continents.
Russians aren't the only people native to Russia so you cannot make a distinction on ethnicity either. Ethnically it is also both. Going on Historical significance it is also both too.

bigger Western part of Russia is Europe, smaller Eastern part is Asia

THE TERRITORY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION COVERS BOTH EUROPEAN AND ASIAN CONTINENTS AND GEOGRAPHICALLY DEVIDED ON TWO PARTS - EUROPEAN AND ASIAN PARTS.

Historically is a European country that stretches all the way to the northern end of Asia.
The original Russians are a European nation and their language one of the European languages.
There are many other ethnicity's and minorities in Russia that speak another language, most of those people are Asians.

Mostly in Asia, so it should be considered an Asian country .
