Russians,as well as every other Slav,is European.Slavs,Germans,Romanians,Greeks and Nords are European People's,and whether their territory stretches to Asia or not,It doesn't matter.They are still Europeans

And if that wasn't convincing enough,Even thought the bigger part of Russia is in Asia,more Russians live in Europe than Asia

Hope that explained it :)

As a Southern Slav(Bosniak,to be precise),I think this is some basic knowledge xD
