I still don't know if Russia is Asian or Eastern European
They're Eurasian.
...generally speaking, the majority of Russians live on the European side of the divide, while something like 3/4ths of the actual land is on the Asian side. But Russia has almost always "looked towards" the West rather than East, so they generally consider themselves part of Europe. Except when it benefits them to consider themselves part of Asia instead.
But yes, the easiest answer to the question is to just consider them "Eurasian" and ignore the distinction entirely.
