3/4 of its territory is in Asia, but 3/4 of its population is in Europe. Also, its historic part is in Europe, the Asian territories were incorporated later throughout its history.

Russia (from my understanding) is geographically the northern part of Asia, but culturally those in power largely live close to Europe (Moscow and St. Petersburg) and are more historically tied to Europe than Asia.
