Me too, I've always thought of it as being European. But I started reading about it's history and the more you read the more you realise just how different Russia is to well everyone. It mostly got me thinking about how continents in general are so badly defined. Pangaea was a simpler time, back when Brasil was landlocked and Austria had lovely beaches.

[@JackRackam]

Yeah, depending on how you count it, you might even say there are only 2 or 3 continents, Afro-Eurasia, America, and maybe Antarctica though it's actually more of an archipelago covered in ice. Austrian beaches, though, now there's something I could get behind. But would you have to give up the mountains?

[@CogitoEdu]

I like the 5 continent model. Eurasia, America, Oceania, Africa, and Antarctica. It just feels right to me. But Afro-Eurasia works to and I like the concept of a super-continent such as that. Austrian Mountain Beaches are the only way to go.

He's saying that because of Greenland. Greenland is legally a part of Denmark, even though they have autonomous home rule to some extent. Denmark represents Greenland on an international level, and Greenland depends on Denmark financially. Greenland has a hell of a lot more area than Denmark, but also a hell of a lot less population. Similarly, Asian Russia (Siberia) has 3 times the land area of European Russia, but only has 1/3 the population. So Asian Russia and Greenland are both sparsely populated expanses of the host country that are technically on a different continent than the country's capital and main population center. Greenland/Denmark is a much more extreme case in terms of population and land area. Greenland has 50 times the land area of Denmark, and not even 1% of the population.

It is easier to manage sea empire then land one because of logistics. Just imagine how hard to support cities in Siberia during victorian era. You need logistic route thousands kms long through Urals, cross many wide rivers and that is during Siberian winter 8 months a year. Siberia was more populated and civilised place, then Americas or Africa for example. ExMongol empire Khanates built walled cities, had disciplined armies and gunpowder arty. But Russia was a part of Mongolian empire aswell, so I think it made expansion and integration easier. The difference between western European empires and Russia is that Russia integrated new ethnicities on equal rights with main population. So Russia still consists of 150+ different ethnicities and control large territory.

Russians may have their own Russian soul that's very complex and intricate, but they consider themselves European Russian literature, painting, classical music and ballet are not just close to European ones, they have become a solid part of the European culture, making a noticeable dent into European mentality and cultural coordinate system. For Russians, this culture is the core of their identity. Peter the Great built St. Petersburg to mimic Venice Tsars had their court speak French. When Tolstoy/Pushkin/Dostoyevsky wrote their masterpieces, the main language in court was French Russians are Eastern Orthodox (a variant of Christianity), so they fall into the European camp more than the "wrong religion Asians" Their singers compete in Eurovision Their oligarchs own real estate in Europe, own the Chelsea Football Club in England, send their kids to study in England and launder their money through Swiss bank accounts Russians have a very derogatory termin for anybody who comes from the 'stan (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, etc) republics which are decidedly more Asian - "чуркестан", which roughly means "idiot-stan" Also in the European part of Russia, the lives of 75% of Russian and focuses the entire economy.

As a north-caucasian, it really frustrates me, how North is considered Europe and South is considered Asia. The whole of Caucasus has been surrounded by asian cultures since earliest civilizations. We've had nomadic iranian and turkic peoples to the north and Persia and (now) Turkey to the south. There was of course Byzantium as well, but even in Byzantium itself, everything to the east of Bosphorus was considered Asia. A lot of territories to the north of Caucasus (which is Southern Russia) were turkic-speaking in 19th century.

Do a video on why The Indian Subcontinent should be considered a separate continent as it lot different than the rest of Asia

[@CogitoEdu]

I'm not sure if the Indian Subcontinent should be considered a different continent. Europe should definitely not be considered one either. Eurasia is the best option I think. And while the Indian subcontinent is incredibly unique should we divide continents based on culture? But the question you posed is a good one and I would like to do a video on what continents are and why they are separated the way they are.

[@ashishshinde3811]

Whenever the Americans or the Europeans talk about Asians they mostly mean the East Asians namely the Chinese, the Japanese and the Koreans.

[@CogitoEdu]

That is true. And people shouldn't generalise either groups of people like that either. But I assume people from other continents do it too. When people talk about Europeans, they usually mean French,Germans, or British. How often are they talking about Swiss or Croatians. Or when people talk about Africans? When people discuss South Americans half the time they are talking about Mexicans (Who are from North America). That is the trouble with combining continents with cultures. Every single Asian country is unique and should not be grouped together as "Asian". The same goes for Europe(although it isn't a continent), Africa, The Americas, and Oceania.

[@ashishshinde3811]

Culture and Racial superiority (conceived from the colonial era) acts as the way people perceive the today's world. And the Indian Subcontinent lies on a entirely different tectonic plate.

the culture of the country is determined more by religion than geography. Look at the similarities between Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox countries. Sunni and Shiite, Hindu and Buddhist, and you will understand that religion is the decisive factor in determining the relevance of culture to larger groups, in this case Russia is an Orthodox state. Orthodoxy is peculiar to the whole of Eastern Europe. If we talk about who we are, Asians, or Europeans, I will answer that we are all Europeans of Orthodox culture will be the ideal answer.

If Russia was european, then why did they have to european-ize under Peter the Great in the first place? If you have to european-ize, it means that you are not european. Russia used to be 100% european before the mongol invasion, but after that, they diverged and began to go their own way. I consider 3 Russias(Belarus, Ukraine, Russia) 'Ruthenian'.

I love what Cogito says at the end about Eurasia (or Asiurope). It's a single continent. The idea of Europe being separate is a Eurocentric idea.

The same could be said about multiple regions of Africa.

Asia is a continent. Europe is a peninsula. The word for "all of a landmass including the attached peninsulas" is just the word for the landmass. So the name of the whole continent is "Asia." So... Russia is in Asia and Europe is in Asia and the two regions overlap but neither is fully contained within the other. *Simple*

[@cocaineminor4420]

If that's the case than east Asia should be a peninsula since it's different from the rest of the world

Technically, that would make Africa a peninsula, and South America too. So i also prefer to separate Africa while keeping the americas as it's own continent. I agree that Europe is just Asia, but where would be the limits? Personally, an aproximmate straigh line from the Don Delta to the Onega Delta.

Technically you could even say that there are only four continents if you’re basing it on connected land. The Americas are connected, so that makes one.
