Best Answer

Russia (and the continent of Eurasia, large part of which Russia occupies) is divided by the Ural mountains into the European (or western) part and the Asian (or eastern) part. Moscow, the capital of Russia, is to the west of the Urals. Therefore, it is in the western part of the country.

Note that while the eastern part of Russia is considerably larger in terrirtory, most of the population lives in the western part, and most of the large cities are found in the western part as well.
