Russia is not part of Europe.
It is. Europe is commonly defined all the way to the Ural mountains, which are located somewhere in the middle of Russia. Most of russian population lives in Europe.
And 'continents' are just arbitrary conventions. Where they begin/end can't be settled by anything objective. There are several models for delineating them.
Interesting!
I was thought the five continent model as a child concerning the geographic continents (but Australia was called Oceania) and the seven continent model in society class (Samhällsorientering)
Culturally I'd also put that part of Russia closer to the Slavic countries than to any fully Asian country.
But why would the other countries, like Switzerland would be excluded then?
Edit: I'm asking in the context of the Russia is/is not in Europe conundrum.
No data available, most likely.
