Why can't they? Russia has always been very close to Europe. Heck, they controled nearly half of it a few decades ago. Just curious.

They still control nearly half of Europe. Russia is huge.
So huge, infact, that I don't think that the EU is ready for her.
Neither do I think that Russia is ready for the EU quite yet, as she needs to get her economy under control first.-bondetamp
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

I certainly don't see why not, and I think it would help to bridge the gap between the former Communist nations in post-Soviet Europe...it may even help some more of East Europe join."Chegitz, still angry about the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991?

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

Russia is reluctant to join any European Confederation. Rather, they are the 3rd road. They are instead forming there own Union's with Belarus, Moldovia, Checneya, and even a move to unite with some others. So ya, I see the Soviet Union re-emerging. Except without the Communism. It will most definetaly be friendly to the USA. As we seek new oil. We are improving contacts with Russia daily. So I dont foresee Russia joining the EU.

Seriously the least is a very close relationship, the best a full fledged membership.
Just not now.
