Russia is partly in Europe and partly in Asia.

Infact, Russia is a very diverse and multi ethnic country. And it includes many ethnicites that are 'Asian' like...Tartars, Mongols, even Koreans!

(When the Soviet Union existed,it was even more diverse!....Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Kirgizs,etc...and many of those former nationalities live in Russia too).

Even many of those European Russians have a bit of Asian in their ancestry.....just read about the Mongol invasions centuries ago.

That Russia seems European is thanks to Peter the Great in the 18th century modernising the country.

If you love Nigeria, say no to tribalism!!!

Eke40seven:

70-77% of Russia's Landmass lies in Asia actually, but around 77% of the people are ethnic Russians, the rest are mostly Mongoloids (ethnic Koreans, Tatars) and central Asians (Kazakhs, Uzbeks).... That's why Russians are called Euroasians. Surprised? Yeah! They are unique... That's why in most cases except for sports events, etc they don't align with Europe politically, rather they rival the EU countries or just stay on their own.

Awol1:


I bet you never heard of a terminology called "Euroasia". That is a country that's both European and Asian. And only Russia qualifies.

I bet you never knew Russia is so large that it's both in Asia and Europe. Hope you also know it shares boundary with America in Alaska.

Now go hide your dumb face in the mud.

If you are been asked in exam or interview you better pick Europe and stop this big grammar . We are talking of the precent and not the past .

Eke40seven:

Nigerians and ignorance, so you think a country can't be geographically in two continents?
A simple Google search would reveal that Russia is called Euroasia in physical geography. Only an ignorant examiner would set this question with just one answer except it's a trick question.

What present please?

Has Russia stopped being in Asia?

Why can't you just keep shut and learn?

kennygee:


Cause Mikel is playing for a Chinese club or because you don't know your geography?

What are you saying . If you check the world map Russia is located in Europe ..what are you arguing for God sake ?

biosystech:
Russia lies on two continents ie Europe and Asia and not one. People have corrected you earlier on this.

I've taken the pains to produce the map here. Notice how it lies also on the Asian continent and how China, Japan et al are beneath it on the map. Along the European territory are countries like Finland Hungary etc bordering it.

It also somewhat shares border with North America, USA to be precise and just a body of water separating both countries. (leaving out the fact that Alaska was once a Russian territory till it was sold to USA).

You know your history.

Changing usernames again are we?

How are they Asian? Russia is not in Asia or are they?

VictorRomanov:



Must you insult me to make your point? I know Russian is very large it has boundaries with USA and China. And I also know countries like Turkey and Azerbaijan are Eurasian countries, but the point here is Mikel's daughters and not geography.

Your insulting me says more about you than it says anything about me.

I won't come down to your level.

Arkmanbuddy:



The Mongols, Tartars and Koreans you mentioned migrated into the country, they were not foundational settlers in the country. Is Brazil an African country though it has a majority black population of about 54%? What about the US? The white majority Russians are foundational settlers in the country.
The Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Kirziks are still Europeans not Asians. So Russia is by every means a European nation. Its only by virtue of its size that it cuts into much of Asia.

Eke40seven:

Do a lil research mate, Kazakhs and Kyrgyzs look significantly different from Europeans. You can tell they are Asians. Most of them look very Mongoloid, or a but indo Europeans with very strong Mongoloid features. While the Uzbeks are definitely have a very Turkic look with some slightly less obvious mongoloid features than the other two.
Everybody migrated at some point but most people there are indigenous to that area, if there is mass migration, then it has to the the ethnic Slavic Russians who lead the country now.
