Hello there!

Before we answer the question, we must understand that Russia is the largest country in the world. In fact, before world war 2, the land of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and more were belong to Russia. That's why you'll see that most of these countries took their independence after the world war 2. Even though Russia faced all these tragedies, it is still the largest country in the world.

What region is Russia partly located in?

Since Russia is long and large, it is located in Europe and Asia as well. The other, eastern, part of the country is part of northern Asia, and is known as Asian Russia, also called North Asia or Siberia. Europe is also a subcontinent within Eurasia, making the whole of Russia a part of the Eurasian continent.

Thus,

Russia is located in Eurasia.

I hope this answer helps!

Hey there!

Russia is a communist state located in the Eastern Hemisphere, with its current leader as Vladimir Putin. It's the largest country in the world, so it's no surprise that it takes up more than just one region.

As I said, Russia is a very large country, measuring just about 7,098,242 km2. It's so large, the official measurements say that it's 77 percent in Asia, and the rest in Europe.

The odd part? Most Russians live in the European part, and a lot of the Asian part is very cold and unhabitable to most.

Hope this helps!
