  • "excluding Russia"

  • includes Russia

I'm confused.

Or was there a text saying something like "all can fit in together, except Russia?"

It is obviously talking about "the continent Europe, excluding Russia". What is there to be confused about?

Ahhh, I didn't notice the other asterisk near "Europe".

It's basically to make it clear and avoid confusion which can arise, e.g. by including only the European part of russia, as the Europe-Asia border is not uniquely defined.

Thanks! Didn't see the asterisk there

The star is meant to point you at the compariosn to Europe which in this case does not include the european part of Russia.

Ah, struggled to find the asterisk near Europe word.

Thank you!
