If 77% of Russia is in Asia, why is it considered to be an European country?
Is it purely based on geography or are there other factors that contribute to Russia being considered a European country?
There are certainly cultural and historical factors as well. Russia has a long and complex history that has been closely intertwined with Europe, and it has played a major role in shaping European culture and politics over the centuries. Additionally, many Russians consider themselves to be more culturally aligned with Europe than with Asia.
