Since Russia is in Asia AND Europe are Russians called Asians and Europeans?

Question

A similar question was asked earlier and it sparked some interest.

Many Germans, Italians and other people that reside in a country that lies in the Europe side of Eurasia are sometimes called Europeans. But since Russia's large land size occupies land in Eurasia, both Europe and Asia then are some Russians considered Asian? I have never heard of a Russian being called Asian. I have heard them being called European though.

Answer 1

A lot of people in the Old Soviet Union are asian with slanted
eyes and look chinese,and the main religion there if it
survived is Islam,like in the Chechnya region,during the
Korean War Soviet asiatic pilots were dressing in North
Korean uniforms and flying fighter planes in support of
North Korea. I refer to russians as slavics,, Bulgaria,
Czshkoslovakia,Hungary,the Old Yugoslavia they're slavics.

Answer 2

Russians are Asian. That's why Asia is the biggest continent by Land mass. Many Russians have Mongolian/Chinese Ancestry but don't want to admit it. But they consider themselves European but they aren't.

Answer 3

The majority of Russia is in Europe. Look at a map. Technically Yes, some Russians are Asian (the ones who live in that part of Russia.)

Answer 4

Eurasians
