It is interesting how roughly 75% of Russia's land is in Asia, while roughly 75% of the population lives in the European part.
@Charles What do you mean "Communism"? :D :D it is just simple geography no communism caused this demographical fact xD
Siberia is cold desert
it is said in songs and stories in east asia: rus said: "let me be beyond your capacity to rule/to handle"...
Europe is part of the Great Asian land mass, not a separate continent detached from it, child. 😝😝😝😝😝😝
@@romonshakra9381 Well yes, but actually no.
Had Russia kept Alaska it would've spanned 3 continents which is crazy.
the british empire spanded 7(including claim on Antarctica)
In the waters of the Pacific Ocean there are two islands, between them only 2.5 miles. One island belongs to Russia, another island belongs to the United States. Both islands belong to the American continent.
In this way. Russia has possessions on the American continent.
San Daz Europa And Asia its not a continent)
Ορέστης Μπέσιος Than Russian can have 5 (Euro Asia Alaska Antarktida and Hawai-oceania)
British Empire its not one country,its a Kingdom of Britania and colonies&dominions.
Why are all foreigners so afraid of us ?
Eurasia is the answer
1337 Yo-russia
Why not Asiroupe?
1337 no shit Sherlock
I'm not interested in religion at all because some countries have Eurasia as a continent instead of europe and asia
Hh Ii eurasia is europe +asia
Is Russia in Europe or Asia?
Yes
Eurasian.
Is Vodka alchlohol or Russia?
Yes
If you analysis this question carefully, the question and answer you just gave actually make sense.
Da
asia
Personally I've always thought of Russia as a more European country, but then again Russia's very good at just doing its own thing altogether. Wasn't Pangea a simpler time?
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.
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?
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.
I like the seven continent model,Asia,Africa,Europe,
Antartica,North America,South America and Pacific or Oceania,I call it Pacific
And we could create two supercontinents of them,America-Antartica and Afro-Eurasia Pacific
Russia is:
1. Politically = Asia
2. Culturally = Europe
3. Geographically = Eurasia
So, the conclusion is... Russia is in Eurasia
That is a similar conclusion to mine.
Imam Abdurasyid Politically Asia?
KonPlayz Yup! watch again minute 2:53. SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization), a security, military, and 'POLITICAL' organisation whose members are Russia, China, bla bla bla.....

Nope, Europe+Russia together will still be smaller than Asia-Russia. and that mercator projection make it even bigger than it is.

If Russia is Asian, then Denmark is North American...
What you mean
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.
@@carultch but it's continuous landmass if you include islands then Russia is also north america
Because he thinks Ural.Mountains is the border between Europe and Asia , when its not
and the UK are south american.... thats true! good point!!
That's a great video, I'm really glad you point out all of this, especially the arbitrarity of the so-called border between Europe and Asia. I wish you mentioned the Caucasus too though. 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.
Russia lays in both continents, but Russia started as country in Europe.
Russia is asian cause russia is politically and geographically asian while only culturally asian
Well most of Russia's history is in Europe, they originally came from Europe, more people live on the European side (which is all the west side of Moscow) and all the big cities are their so is the capital. Not much Russians live on east because of Siberia so that east side of Russia is just a random bit of land claimed by Russia. They act European they may as well be European.
@@footyfergus8720 Russians live in western Russia, and beyond the Ural Mountains, our fucking billionaires produce oil and get richer
@@sidadsidad9219 Who said that? You're DELUDED. Russia was born in EUROPE and its czars were related to European monarchy, you idiot. It has always exerted great influence in eastern Europe even absorbing them into the great Russian empire. Physically, they don't look Asian. In terms of sports, they are a part of European leagues and single-handedly dominates EUROPEAN sports. What are you smoking?

Russia is а european country that took possession of North Asia, in which very few people live.
Taking into account the fact the people from central, west (Belorussia) and south (Ukraine) Russia colonizated Siberia, Siberia is a Europeanized territory like North America or Australia and New Zealand (of course, taking into account local specifics).
P.S. Russians do not think in therms of races, we think in therms of nations and ethnic groups in contrast to Western countries.
Moscow is the capital city of Russia which might be that Russia is European.
Putin once said the following: "Russia lies neither in Europe nor in Asia. Asia and Europe lie next to russia."
Putin also said Russian borders never end.

Russian are European and Russia is a European country following the United nation classification. Russia is European its won’t change their origin by conquering Siberia. Most of the land it’s uninhabitable and unpopulated. Even ethic Russian who lives in Siberia considered themselves European. Russia it’s a European country and it’s diverse.
Russia isn't European as Russia is more than the western part of the country

Answer: Yes.

Thank you ever so much for sticking to the facts without political opinion. You are entitled to your own viewpoint of course but this is truly a breathe of fresh air.
Thank you. That is how I want all of my videos to be.
The Answer is - "EARTH"
Yes I agree

this helped alot in my project thanks
Interesting side thought: Until not so very long ago, Britain (and the Netherlands) also had huge areas in Asia. The only differences with Russia are that these areas are not contiguous with the dominant area and also that Russia still rules its Asian empire.
Phrenomythic. That is interesting. The age of empire has left us with some strange things.
I think that it is incredibly impressive and usually goes unnoticed, that Russia managed to maintain it's empire. Unlike Britain and the Netherlands. Being almost entirely land based probably helped a little :D
Yeah, well, I think the main advantage of the Russians was that very few people live in its Asian empire, comparatively, when you think of British India and the Dutch East Indies. Huge populations! Empty land is easier to occupy than millions of people.
Phrenomythic. Of course. The Dutch had to try and maintain an empire in south east Asia. I
One of the most densely populated places on Earth. As well as adjust to a climate they had never seen before. The same with the British empire in Africa and Australia. They had to set up difficult supply lines just to maintain any presence.
Cogito And of course mighty Zealandia is should be a contient!
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.
I am from Russia and we consider ourselves Russian not European or Asian. I am from a place about 100 miles from Asia so... it's your decision.

You're European
@Anarchist Zero 77% of Russians live in Europe.
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. 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.
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. Whereas in the Asian part of the lives of only 25%.
and Ukrainians are also Europeans right?
I agree for the most part, but in fact St. Petersburg was built to mimic Amsterdam
Mac Productions To be fair both Australia and Israel are extremely Europeanized. Australia being an Anglophonic country with strong cultural and ethnic ties to the British Isles and Israel being a country mostly inhabited by Jews of European heritage.
x_MySecretShadows_x They've also had pretty extensive contact with Asian groups like Mongols, Persians, Turkic peoples, etc.
Couch Grouches wait, what, Persians and Turkic people are Asians?
tbh europe and asia should be considered as one
Lewis Long. I agree with you there and in the video I discuss how different cultures view continents. I myself use Eurasia.
Lewis Long nah cant be one since. Their people, culture arent the same as asia. also they are caucasian not mongolid.
Ryan lex. Culture has nothing to do with continents. Also not all Europeans are Caucasian and not all Asians are the same race either. Race also has nothing to do with continents.
Partho Sarothi Paul How does that make them a white supremacist?!
Or Asia should be divied into more continents like Middle East and India being separate ones
I'm Russian and I think that Russia in Europe
Only Asians seem to call Russia Asian.

From the Bosphorus Strait all the way up to the northern tip of the Urals is the boarder between Europe and Asia. It isn't a cultural boarder, it's a physical one too
Well kind of. That is a very simple way of describing a historical complex set of political, cultural and geographic based arguments on a European and Asian border. I would argue that it is more a cultural boarder in some parts than physical. I know that Georgia, Azerbaijan and even parts of Armenia may have something to say about the greater Caucuses for instance or on the reverse side a far western town in Kazakhstan is unlikely to identify as anything other than central Asian. Yes a set of physical landmarks exist as a divide, yet some of those are still disputed.
On the other hand it is quite likely I am acting like a dickhead and making far more out of your comments than needs be 😂

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.
Russian is in Europe when it's about beating records such as the highest building but when you tell about culture there are like "noo we aren't Europe"
Russia started with Europe, Asia appeared relatively recently. History
Asians were colonized as Alaska and California

simple answer: Mr.Worldwide
3:59 FINALLY WE WILL GET AGE OF EMPIRES IV
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?)))
you need more subs man like seriously your channel is as good as like vsauce and big channels i cant believe you have only
Thank you very much. I'm already amazed at how many people enjoy my videos and that's all I want. I hope your channel grows too. It looks like you make great videos.
If we are considering Europe and Asia as a continent, then Africa would be there too, 'cause the only division between these continents is a man-made canal but that would make things more complicated. Great video BTW!

Russia has a more European-type culture, it's a Christian country which is more European, most important episodes of its history took place in Europe, most part of Russian people live in the European part, it has a capital in Europe, it was even once suggested to enter the EU. What's more, we're considered "Western people" by various Asian manufacturers, so... Why not European?
You only say that because you live in the European part.
Asian Russians would beg to differ.
In the end, is it really that bad to call Russia transcontinental country? Nobody gets hurt, except those Russian slavs who want to be Eruopean for the sake of being European.

@@malion8374 Russia isnt made of only Slavic people, y'know

This is like that because it were white people who colonised and build USA, so similar should be said about Russia.

Replace Eurasia with Afroeurasia (Real word btw) and we're good.
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.

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.

...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.

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.

But there were no next war against Britain, so selling Alaska was in vain, we might as well keep the region(((

I totally agree with your Russian friend. I am a slav from the Asian part of Russia myself, from Sakhalin island, and I've always considered myself firstly Asian or Sakhalinian, and only then a Russian

Do a video on why The Indian Subcontinent should be considered a separate continent as it lot different than the rest of Asia
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.
Whenever the Americans or the Europeans talk about Asians they mostly mean the East Asians namely the Chinese, the Japanese and the Koreans.
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.
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.
Cogito europe is a continents. culture, people, language arent the same as asia nor africa.
In some of your previous videos you spoke way too fast. This video is a great improvement!! Nice pace to follow. Well done 😁
Thanks, I've been slowly improving on my narration skills :D
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)
that reference with Tchaikovsky and the canon was wonderful
This is all about racism. Obviously Europe and Asia are one continent. A mountain range doesn't change that. They are only called separate continents because of racial differences.
To be honest, you are partially right.
*part of Russia is in the North American plate*
Not to criticize but the music is too loud and can't properly hear you voice over it. Really interesting video though😊
For me, Asia and Europe should be considered the same continent
+Rafael Melo. I think the same.
+Eurasian Mapper - Mapping and Gaming. No worries. You are free to disagree. Although I didn't state an opinion. But whatever makes you happy.
Why not also Africa then?
Rafael Melo i think hes both erusasin Europe and Asia

What was the song use for the vid?Great vid by the way!
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.
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.
what is asiurope?
@@odenoki9571 still, i've never heard it being used
Geographically speaking Europe is a peninsula of Asia, so It's not Eurasia, It's just Asia.
Europe can be considered a continent because of its story, discussing about united Eurasia sounds the best thing to me though
@@mrantipatia1872 But if Europe can be separated due only to history and culture, than why not the Middle East and India?
Do people in Siberia ( Places like Irkutsk, Ulan Ude, Yakutia and Vladivostok etc) identify as being as much Russians as people left of the Ural Mountains ? I am very curious about life and culture in those places and how different it is from European Russia?
I will write one fact about my country. We don't have dialects of the Russian language, it is exactly the same anywhere in the country. There is a difference in the stress on vowel letters, but the words are the same everywhere. We understand Ukrainian and Belarusian by 90%. Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovenian and Slovak are understandable. Polish and Czech are more difficult. Czech has a lot of old words, and Polish has a lot of hissing letters. Most importantly, we have mutual penetration of cultures of all 160 nationalities and 4 religious trends.
I am Russian, I do not agree with the conclusions of the author. Russia is not Eurasia or Asia. This is eastern Europe, if we talk about our culture and order.
Russia is definitely European; but its own category. Not Eastern European. Just Russian.
I am European and Russia for me always was European!!!!
but Rusia are a bit far
Salute
Then is argentina European?
I am from Indonesia Russia is very big and spacious and spacious :) until I was confused that Russia entered Europa or Asia, finally I got lost here, thank you.
Europe, Because it originated there.
Reminds me of how Filipinos constantly debate whether they are Asian or Pacific Islander… I chalk it up to a little bit of both
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.
Nice vid your characters cute
