I am Russian. There is no right answer. Anything east than Germany, it will be Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania. Russia is not Eastern Europe, Russia is Eurasia, it is a separate concept, a different mentality.
Whatever it belongs to eastern europe, Russians are slavs.. slavs = eastern europe.
I am Ukrainian background but family from Russia so this topic is very relevant to me. You are right about the Europe thing. This area has no asian feature to it. Best argument is all of Europe is unique. Germany/England/ netherlands etc is in a common area that is unique from the latin areas like Italy and Spain. and the Slavic areas are also quite different from those other 2. But they are just 3 distinct areas of Europe, none being any more or less european than the other 2.
