Russia is an Eastern culture and is most definitely Asian. Europe and Western culture begin at its western border. They have tried through disinformation and cultural appropriation for centuries to appear European, but it's obvious to true Western civilizations that they are not the same. Ultimately they supply us with some natural resources and manufacturing like other Asian countries, but we could never count on them for military alliance.
Whatever good graces they had with our Western culture stopped in 1945 and the Iron Curtain. The Berlin Wall was technologically inferior to China's Great Wall, but culturally it is clear to see the same obsession with privacy and wall building that the two Asian countries share. Also, if they were a true European country they would know that we don't bully each other, we only bully non European countries. Totally not cool after 1939. It is probably the language barrier between our European and their Asian language that is causing their confusion.

You have your personal biases and you have been spoon fed selective information by media you read & watch. U.S. intelligence community started this in 2014. U.S. intelligence were on the ground in Ukraine stirring up the masses as does U.S. intelligence community.

The border of Asia/Europe is considered to be the Ural and Caucasus mountains. So most of russia's land mass is in Asia, but most of their people are ethnically slavic (similar to much of eastern europe) and live in Europe.
Russia is best described as European with heavy Asian influence.

You would not have written your first paragraph and first sentence of your second paragraph if not for current conflict between Russia & Ukraine.

About 3/4 of Russia's land is in Asia, but about 3/4 of the population is in Europe.
In any case, people certainly refer to at least some Siberian ethnic groups as Asian.
Possibly-related question: Why don't we call Israelis and Syrians, etc., Asians?

If it's a well-known fact that Russia is just a remnant of the Mongolian culture, how come not that many people know it?

That's a bunch of BS.
Russia is a European county socially and geographically.
The Trans Siberian railroad was only built in the very later 1800s.10 -
75% of Russia is in Asia.

Geographically Europe and Asia are a single continent called Eurasia.

But it's Mideast Asia (not Midwest) and the Appalachia parts are in the Urals.
Philadelphia on the other hand is not on the East Coast therefore it is part of western Asia.
