I think they would contrast themselves with other European national identities but not deny that they are also European. I haven't taken a survey of this but that's my intuition. Ps. I suspect this contrasting of Russia and Europe may be quite old. I think of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Peter the Great. That kind of contrast was very much under discussion in that time period as far as I know.
