Russia has a great expanse of territory in Asia, but it's mostly empty land. For most of its history, the metropoles and centers of government have been centered in the western half, and they've always had far, far more interaction with other European powers than with any other Asian nations.

Interesting. I did not know that. Most of the history I've had centers around England, thanks to a World Cultures teacher that focused on it and my college not offering much else as a gen ed.

I am still pissed I never got to study The French Revolution.

Random Geography anecdote:
So I'm a oral test, about Europe countries' and their capitals. The teacher asks some tought ones (the little not-countries, some Balkanic contries, etc.) and then she points at Russia. I stare at her. She stares back and tells me that yes, some people have got that one wrong. That's when I realized some people think we are on Mars.
