Classed as Europe I think, well they play in the Euro soccer tournament every 4 years.

Geographically, it's part of both Asia and Europe - as with Turkey.

Geographically, it's about one third European and two thirds Asian. Culturally, it's population is mostly European.

Ever heard of Eurasia? It's part of both, in a geoaphical sense.

 

[Papa G]

It is generally considered Europe up to the Ural Mountains and everything east of that is Asia.

Russia is not Asia or Europe, it's just Russia. Go there and ask a local.

Fascinating place.

As Churchill once said, Russia is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. It is a part of Europe and a part of Asia, yet separate from both. It is rich with natural resources, yet its people have historically been grindingly poor. It has been invaded and overrun by Goths, Huns, Mongols, French and Germans, yet remained uniquely Russian. It has been a superpower and a nearly failed state, a monarchy, communist dictatorship and democracy – all within a span of 100 years.

Couldnt say it any better than that. Most interesting/unique country in the world.

I'd hardly call it a democracy.
