Most of what you said about Russia is very wrong. 40% of the land is in European region. Almost 80% of the population is in Europe. Russia actively participate in European affairs more so than Asian e.g. European soccer, not Asian. Russian is also a European langauge, Slavic in nature and adopts the Latin alphabet. The capital is in Europe. And most of the other primary cities.

The fact that Russia extends into Asia is because of Empires. The European nation, that we know today as Russia, expanded into empty territory, Siberia, and that's where it got most of it's landmass, not because they are Asian.
