Anders & Peter,
I suggest that you check your maps again. For example here:
http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/europe/eucaps.htm Russia, not Soviet Union, is part of Europe although many people do not think about it that way.
Since I am originally from Sweden, here is a tidbit: The Swedish Vikings used to be called the Russ. They traveled extensively in what is now Russia all the way down to the Mediterranean and for example, Kiev was a Viking trade center. That is how Russia got its name.
Anders: what part of Sweden are you from? I am from Karlstad.

Russia is definitively NOT Europe! But we got our own space scene...
Anders, Sweden, lurker
