      Russia is a European country at its core controlling a vast portion of Asia through invasion and colonial exploits. France is also located in the Pacific, North America, South America, Africa, but no one would claim that it’s not a European nation.

          Please do tell me how Russia, as the direct successor state of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union - having exploited, resettled, and genocided millions of people from hundreds of different ethnicities - should NOT be consider a colonial state. You think Slavs are native to Sakhalin or something?

              While it’s so exciting to see idiots simping for Russia. Keep telling yourself they’re not a colonial shit state if you please.

                  What are you even mad about? Or are you just trying to be cool and edgy? Russia is an exploitative, genocidal, imperialistic, racist colonial empire whether you like it or not ;)

      Russia the country is both in Asia and Europe, that makes someone of Russian ethnicity born in Europe to Russian parents an Asian

      That’s… Not how it works lol

      Russians are an East Slavic ethnic group native to Eastern Europe. Their mother tongue is Russian, the most spoken Slavic language. The majority of Russians adhere to Orthodox Christianity, ever since the Middle Ages. By total numbers, they compose the largest Slavic and European nation.

      Closest you can get is calling him “Eurasian” I guess
