Russia is partially in Europe, though most of it is in Asia. Some of the more significant parts are in Europe, such as Moscow, the capital city, and some other major cities. Siberia is a bleak and sparsely populated area of Russia, and it is mostly in Asia. Culturally Russia is closer to European than Asian elements.

There's some dispute over where the border between the continents actually is (in Russia and beyond), but most people say the part of Russia west of the Ural Mountains is European and the eastern part is Asian.
