Because... Russia never boasted their military power, but everyone knew they had it and still have it. They still call them the sleeping bear because it would be very, very unwise for a country to screw with a country like Russia. Russia in WWII was not ready for war, but they had the means to militarize the entire country, and they did.

What continent is Russia on?

Russia is typically considered part of both Europe and Asia. 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. That means more of Russia's landmass is in Asia, but more of the population lives in Europe, as the biggest cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, are both on the European side.If this frustrates you—"Why can't everything fit cleanly into our categories!"—I have bad news. Russia isn't the only country that spans multiple continents; Egypt, Greece, and Turkey do it, too.
