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.

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.

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.

Russia's capital Moscow and 80% of its population is within its European part. Russians are Slavic. Russia is a European state that expanded into Asia through colonisation. Generally the location is not "Asia". Nobody lives in Russia's Asian part.

Definitely Europeans. 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.

Europe, Asia, and Africa are also all connected by land, so that makes two. Then the only other two independent continents are Australia and Antarctica, so that makes four continents.

The name of the state is "The Russian Federation".That thing is eurasian."Russia" in my language is just the european part,like Scotland for the UK(simbolically,not in any way politically).I see Russia as european and Russian Federation as eurasian.

Actually this is the serious question for Russian identity. The very old question. And finding the answer is very important because it will have influence on everything: who are we and how we should act and develop? And there is no such a part of Russian Federation as "Russia". Russia = Russian Federation. I understand that is how it is in your language. But I wonder where do I live according to you: in Russia or in Russian Federation, if I live on Ural Mountains?)))

That works like when british didnt want anything with europe. Everyone knows they are still in europe, and it works similar to eastern Europe. The curtain wasnt the only thing splitting the continent in half.

As Russian I can tell that this question bothers some people even today. Threw the whole history no one questioned this matter until Peter the great. Some thought Russia is Europeen and others thought Russia is just Russia- it has its own way. I know for fact that most people from Moscow and Petersburg consider them selves as Europeen, but there are more than 200 ethnicities in this country, so you wont hear same answer every where. I borned in far east, close to Japan, China and Korea. There are many Asians and Russians (Or Russian Asians), who am I? Well, can't call my self Europeen, neither Asian... Funny thing is people in Russia differ a lot from each other by culture and even manners. (simmilar but different) good video btw, can see you made some research

Eurasia was already the plan made back then, and many people liked the idea including Russians but Europeans didn't agree with the fact of them joining as a safe continent with poor countries of Asia. Africa on the other side is just a link/bridge between this continent but the land between Asia and Europe is totally the same Anne not just connected, is the same land/continent, and many people in the world say that it is supposed to be a single continent, but Europeans Don't accept Asians. That's the problem.

1:52 ...."According to the Greeks (which the Europeans based their geography on), Russia was in Asia." .....So, which geographical feature did the Greeks identify as the border between Europe and Asia? The Dardanelles and the Bosporus Strait, in their area, was obvious; but what about the land demarcation north of the Black Sea? ...After doing a little web research, apparently it was Ptolemy who defined the boundary; and he had it going through the Kerch Strait into the Sea of Azov and then following the Don River. North of the Don River is less certain.

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. When people use the cultural division argument, I point out that the Middle East and India have cultures just as distinct from their neighbors as Europe. The same could be said about multiple regions of Africa.

@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.

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.

Filipinos are Asian. I mean what else are they? The Philippines is in Asia. Now, this dispute whether Russia is a part of Europe, comes from the vastness of Russia's geography, and the fact that it spans both Europe and Asia. Now, anybody who knows, even just a little bit of Russia; would understand that it is a European country, by almost all terms. It simply expanded into Asia by colonisation.

I'm not European ni Russian but Europeans and Russians are very lookalike it's more than obvious than Russia is European indeed sorry for my englisch

3:37 I'm french and agreed to those jokes.

There is a version that the colonies of Russia were the same lands in Asia, beyond the Ural Mountains. So we can assume that these internal colonies have been preserved until now, since all the money from the Asian part goes to the west of Russia (and politicians are in your pocket)

Wasn't Sankt Petersburg designed after Amsterdam ?

4:10 that sad Alaska. Russia decided to sell Alaska after losing the Crimean war against Britain and France. In case of a next war against Britain, Alaska could not be properly defended, Britains could come from Canada or by sea and take all Alaska as free real estate. So it would be better to sell these lands to have some profit before we just lose them, that's what the goverment thoght. But there were no next war against Britain, so selling Alaska was in vain, we might as well keep the region(((
