Both cultural and physical tended to separate Russia from Western Europe
Western Europe has been involved in more foreign affairs than Eastern Europe. As well, during the second World War, Eastern Europe was mostly Axis, while Western Europe was mostly Allies.
Europe
It means the culture of the Western world (Europe, America, Canada and several others), including the religions, ways of living and society, governance, legal system and more.
Japan was never occupied or colonised by any European countries, and in the early days of trade with outsiders they were kept isolated and mixing with the local population was not allowed.
The Jews were isolated in Europe in ways such as Jewish quarters and wearing "yellow stars" or the symbol of the Jewish faith. They often put Jews in ghettos.

One of the primary goals of Peter the Great was to look to western Europe for ways to modernize Russia. He believed that doing so would help the economy and help Russia's standing among the European powers.
