Russia west of the Ural mountains is Europe, east is Asia. But the Caucasus mountains are also a border between Europe and Asia.
Thus proving the almost total arbitrariness of defining Europe as a "continent" but here we are.
That's how the Romans divided the world thousands of years ago and it stuck.
