Is Russia a European or Asian country?

I messed up the title. I meant are Russians European or Asians. Most of the residents are european, have european culture/heritage and have alot of land in Europe. While on the other hand most of the land is in Asia. This question is for Russians

Why does it have to be so black and white 😭😭 it literally just depends on where you are from in Russia

Russia is Eurasia
77% of Russia's area is in Asia, the western 23% of the country is located in Europe.

Never heard the term Eurasian before?

In Asian part of Russia ethnic russians (European settlers) are majority anyways. The biggest amount of non russians actually located in European part Tatars (Nats) and people of North caucasus (sheydos)

It is. And it's not only that but over 70% of russians live in European side. In Asia it's mostly minorities like Chechnya or Dagistan.
