Interesting definition of Europe that includes UK but doesn't include Serbia not to mention Russia.
Pray tell, why?
Unless we jetted out into the atlantic the day after brexit we are definately still geographically and culturally European not to mention in the eu for two years and chances are we will negotiate some deal even after that.
Seems to be only targetting EU countries, not European countries.
Specially in a thread like this that is far from political matters.
And how can you talk in the name of all the Russians?
I know more than one that don't think like you say.
They can even call themselves Australian if they want to, but it doesn't change the fact that anything West of Urals is continental Europe. Moscow, most importantly, is a European city, regardless of how Russians feel about such description.
Russia does not identify with Europe by choice. On Russian TV there is nothing but mocking Europe and all it stands for; majority of Russians poll as actively hostile to Europe. Russians can't freely travel across Europe (nor can Europeans to Russia). Russia conducts military exercises simulating attacks on European capitals, and actively works to undermine and disintegrate European institutions.
Why do you people insist Russia has to be on the list is beyond me.
Whether or not Russians fantasize about attacking Berlin has absolutely nothing to do with conversations about tech salaries.
I'd say that in the context of conversations about European tech salaries, Western Russian cities should absolutely be included.
I will gladly watch what will happen to you if you say that in Vladivostok suburbs after 1:00 am ^_^
"DISCLAIMER: this is a joke and should not be take seriously"
What do you care about then? Exceptionalism?
That's irrelevant.
We're talking about continents, not political and cultural leanings.
> Does landmass outweighs their opinion for you
Yes. Continental boundaries are well defined.
If you want to stick to the continent though, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine and Turkey should be there as well. Belarus and Ukraine in particular have IT/developer markets of same magnitude as Russia.
