Most Russians live on the European side of the Ural Mountains because it is where the country's historical and cultural centers, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, are located. The European side also has a milder climate and better access to trade routes and resources compared to the vast and sparsely populated Siberian region east of the Urals.
