there's an extremely racist and russophobic narrative that's become dominant in european media about how russia is an asian and non-european country. this narrative is directly out of nazi state propaganda and ultimately straight out of mein kampf.

these racist comments by the hungarian opposition leader should be firmly condemned as extreme right and uneuropean.

fwiw, the r1* haplogroup that defines europe is asian in origin and hungarian comes from an asiatic origin language family. modern hungarians have intermixed with europeans, but the hungarians came to europe as asiatic steppe nomads. the division between europe and russia is a racist false dichotomy that can nether be defined linguistically nor genetically and has no basis in science.

there is no imaginary boundary between "europe" and "russia".

the idea that that boundary exists is literal nazi fucking bullshit and these comments should be condemned as the xenophobic, russophobic and extreme right nazi bullshit that they are.
