Because I was having a dispute over whether Ussr was in Asia or Europe with Dutch, it started in anither thread, and I didn't want to hijack that thread

You haven't had one good thread hijack yet. Not even a bad one. I don't remember seeing one even inadvertently derailed by you.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Dutch could be forgiven for the belief that Russia is European; while the greater land mass is in Asia, the vast majority of the population -- and the capital -- is north of the Bosphorus and west of the Urals; in other words, geographically within continental Europe.

Even more so the USSR, which included Belarus and the Baltic states.

Good movie on the dissolution of the USSR, from the perspective of a breakaway nation (Estonia): The Singing Revolution.

Wait, why?? are you ****in kidding me?? Listen, I graduated in 1984, I think he may have graduated in 81, not sure how old he is, but older than me..

The USSR was formed in 1922 and ended in 1991

Obviously, he was ogling the girls in Geography class, instead of paying attention, then he would have known, that the USSR was in the continent of Asia!!

Alas....

Once more,

It's in both.

The capital is in Europe.

Most of the people are in Europe.

Most of the land is in Asia.

Most of that is snow and trees.

So...

Both.

To be fair it used to be you had to be pretty much dead to be out of power in Russsia so perhaps that is where the confusion came from.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Since Sarah Palin can see Russia from her back door, and since her back door is just across the straits from Asia, I would have to say that Russia has to be in Asia.
