When did Russia stop being European?

>>130843120
When they abandoned Europe to chase furs, first furries ever.

>>130843254
Really? That's interesting...

>>130843443
They could have stuck around and helped purge the pagans, but no, all that desolate waste land and furry pelts were too tempting compared to the right good times we were throwing in medieval Europe.

In my opinion, they stopped being European when they embraced gommunism, but how do you guys feel?

China is a world power but it is not European.
>>130844286
The foundation of separation from Europe was built by mongol rule and Ivan the terrible though.

>>130844856
I guess that's true.

kys commies scum!
Russian Empire being completely backwards is a soviet lie. Yes it was behind the West, but it was growing rapidly. And industrialization had already began in the Empire and it would continue successfully without commies. Commies on other hand divided Russia, destroyed its culture, faith and just purged best and most patriotic people of Russia and made brainwashed bydlo out of common folk. Everything soviets achieved was not for the good of Russian people, but for the West.
The West prepared bolsheviks, the West financed them and provided support. They took over everything and gave it away to the West - resources, wealth, existing factories. And USSR was able to industrialize only thanks to the West, because they were incompetent! Even the grain that was confiscated during collectivization, that led to famines, it was sold to the West. All for money and technology, to be able to industrialize.
Fuck you. I hate you commie faggots so much. I will celebrate so hard when they finally remove the kike mummy from the Red Square.

But you guys are clearly white and Christian?

>>130847192
I agree, such a shame the culture was almost destroyed.

If that's what means to be European, Europe itself fails to be European quite miserably. I'm ok with being a mongoloid 2bh.

Russia was never meant to be "European", picrelated was a lanky faggot with an inferiority complex that he projected in his entire nation.

If Europe always wanted to see Russia as Tataro-Byzantine barbarian horde, why should they fight it? Re-imbrace jaftans and beards, let the West tremble again.

Russia was always having problems, identfiying itself as European.
Most of its European history is about fighting other European powers, such as Sweden, Germany etc.
While most of its Eastern front was identified as European Russians going into Asia, it never lost its touch to Europe (e.g. looking at 1813-1914 European politics).
So while it was Asiatic, Russia never truely integrated into the concert of European powers.

>Russia was never meant to be "European"
Completely retarded statement. Even their own existence as slavic tribes that speak an indo-european language they become instantly european. Even more they carried the byzantine spirit of orthodoxy. Eurasians need to visit Gulag.

>>130849066
Are you implying you were never european or you still are?

was the most European Russian ruler, that has ever lived. While trying to get into European powership, he didn't rule out most of Siberia, which in turn turned out to be Russias most valuable colony.Russia basically is the only European power that never lost hold of its colonies in Asia desu
