The first answerer is a jerk. Yes, we russians (soviet in my case) are white because we originate from slavic peoples in the caucasus mountains.

Geographically, the West of Russia is in Europe but the East is in Asia. However, Russia is classified as a European nation because: It was established in Europe (before it expanded into Asia) Its culture is Eastern European Its history is closer to Europe's than Asia's (for example, it has had more interactions with other European countries, rather than Asian countries) Russian people are Slavic, generally speaking, and NOT AT ALL "Asiatic", in racial background.

Some Russians will say they are white.... others will not ......

In general, yes. However, Russia is a big country and likely includes several ethic groups. My guess is that some of those groups might identify as Asian.

Sure. Even so-called "Black Russians" are white.

Russia spans eight time zones and its citizens are represented by both Caucasians and Asians.

Yes. Just because they are in Asia and not from America don't mean they not.
