mfw eu can change the definition of geography
well
geographically V4 is definitely Central Europe
it was politics that made the people call these countries "Eastern"
dunno about Baltics tho
you're central even with the politics
some people consider them Central, some Northern
I mean Cold War
if we talk about geography the center of europe gets placed right next to Vilnius, or in some cases in Belarus
because of Russia being included as part of Europe
or in some cases in Poland tbh
but economically you are central
and we are eastern
not just economically but socially too
ukraine is eastern europe
germany is western
in poland people make lot less than in Germany
but quite a lot more than in Ukraine
I feel like this map is somewhat accurate
so it doesnt make sense to group Poland and Czech Rep. with countries like Ukraine and Moldavia (eastern europe)
and definitely not Belarus
Baltics are ehhhh
tbh Russia is rich by Eastern Euro standards
a bit complicated imo
at least when you look at gdp
>rich
lol
maybe in peter
and moskva
when you look at their gdp per capita its not far behind Poland, Baltics etc
their salaries are like 300 $
but I gues there's a lot more inequality tehre
yeah but things are cheaper as well
i wouldnt go as far as to compare russia with rest of eurpe
might be cheaper but lots of stuff is same price as well I bet
especially as ruble is being held down
by the white man
I agree that Russia is a shithole, it's just their GDP figures concern me for some reason
