The West to me, would mean European countries. (nowadays this term also inculdes the USA)
In ancient China, the chinese used to refer to Europeans as "Xi Fang Ren". Loosely translated, means people from the West.
And geographically, Europe (and the Americas) are situated to the West of the Atlas, which checks up with how the Chinese addressed the europeans.

Greece to the Atlantic. East of Greece (Turkey and the Middle East, the Far East) is the East.
The Americas are the New World. Russia is in both the East and the West.

This depends on who is saying it and why. They either mean the Western U.S., or they are referring to Europe and North America.
