On What Continent Is Russia Located?

Russia is considered a "bicontinental" country, as are Turkey, Egypt, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. However, since Asia and Europe occupy the same land mass, they are often referred to as one continent by the name of Eurasia.

Russia is the world's largest country, covering about 6.6 million square miles and stretching almost halfway around the world. It ranks as the ninth-largest country in the world based on population.
