Geographically, Russia east of the Urals is part of the European continent. Culturally, Russians have very little in common with Europe.

IMNVHO comrade, you have that backwards. Culturally, the Russkis been claiming kin with us Europeans for centuries, and many have even been trained to speak European languages and with great difficulty, to use tableware. However, I have scientifically determined that they are too far away from Paris for me to consider them actual Europeans. Furthermore, Moscow is in the same time zone with Riyadh (IIRC).

Stop trying to change my opinions in this matter. It is based upon indisputable research data.

Yes, of course I meant west, not east. I really need to have my coffee before I hit the post button.
