    Russia is in both continents. As for the EU, I doubt Russia would even want to join.

    I believe the west up to Moscow is in Europe and the rest is in Asia so yeah its in Eurasia.

    If they cleaned up their "democracy" and corruption I'd support them, but they aren't even in the WTO yet so it would be a long way off.

    More so Europe.

    But it is so vast that you cannot define it to one Continent.

    The Ural mountains is the dividing point. Same with Istanbul in Turkey.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    ah will you relax we still have belarus and the ukraine to get to first.



    well it is in both continents but most of the population live in the european part, and in the asian part you find provinces where native pre russian expansion people have a huge percent of the population.

    The real question is should the EU join Russia? We'd then have a border with N. Korea and be able to see into Alaska.

    The overwhelming majority of the Russian populace is in Europe, but the overwhelming majority of Russian land is in Asia, it's just barren frozen tundra and boreal forests.

    Don't think Russia would like to join EU though considering their on-going barney with Nato and the lads.

    Think you need to have another try at map reading as Russia does share a land border with North Korea. And the Alaska part was a joke in parody of what Palin said about her foreign affairs expertise.

    It extends across the whole of northern Asia and 40% of Europe, spanning 9 time zones and incorporating a wide range of environments and landforms.
    There you have it: It's Eurasian. /shrug. Don't know what else to tell you.

    They let Egypt into the EU and Egypt is clearly part of Africa. At least Russia extends pretty far into Europe.

    But reverse the smug: the question is would russia want to be a member of the EU? That would be akin to asking America to adopt the Euro, even if it wasn't called the Euro.
