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

The Orange Belt

yeah doesnt make much sense to compare

or they'd be same as Portugal

huh whats wrong with wages in Lithuania

also

I didn't realise we've already surpassed Greece in wages

corruption

like, nominal wages

those are net

after taxes

I know but the thing is

wait no
