I'm guessing that coastal moderation of temperatures kept Lithuania warm enough to miss the list.

Lithuania is far enough south that with coastal moderation, it stays higher than Belarus, which sits inland. Even though it is farther south, it has no coast to warm it.

Agreed. My mind immediately went to "furthest north", so I got 8 out of 10 very quickly. Then after trying a several more incorrect answers, "high elevation" occurred to me, and I got the last 2.

Exactly. And the Swiss have some of their main meteorological stations at 4000ft altitude. In the cities on the plains (Basel, Zurich, Geneva...) the winters are way milder than in the Baltic countries.

Arguably, the average temperature refers to the entire country, not just the European part. If that distinction could be made, i.e. average temperature for just European Russia, it might place differently on the list.

Yes, nothing at all. I think you are forgetting around 13,000,000 kilometers squared of land.

But yes, I get what you mean. The population density in Asian Russia is around 2.3 people per kilometer squared. Still, there are around 30 million people living in the Asian part of Russia, and that would more than most European nations.

Then you'd probably not want to live in Yakutsk, a Siberian city with an average annual temperature of −8.8°C, and where it frequently drops below −40°C in the winter.

Further south than Iceland or Noway, much lower in elevation and closer to the sea than Switzerland or Liechtenstein. Thus, warmer.

The average is for entire Russia, for the European part, it would be significantly warmer, but probably would fit anong the 10 coldest because of the northern regions.
