I certainly consider Russians to be Europeans (most of them anyway), but Westerners? That just seems wrong as for decades the West was defined precisely as the group of nations opposed to Russia...
That was just he cold war. At the time, the term "the West" was defined by politics. When we talk about the West today it's in terms of culture. I said it earlier, and I'll happily repeat it. It's just two different things that have the same name. Where Russia is, I don't know. But the cold war is in my opinion irrelevant, for whether or not your culture is western.
