I think you might be confusing the Ural Mountains with the Caucasus Mountains?
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.
