Latvia is Eastern European. How could you say they’re not?

The Baltic countries have no ethnic ties to Slavs. They do not consider themselves Eastern Euro.

Where’s Karl F’n Roider when ya need him?

What? Eastern Europe is not designed by ethnic groups. If that were the case, Hungry and Romania would not be considered Eastern European. Not to mention, Slavic is too general to be of much use.

What?

Latvians hate Russians
Russians are Eastern European
Therefore Latvians don't like being called a Eastern European
Go to Riga and call them that
Let me know how it goes

I don’t care what they think. The standard baseline is Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia are Eastern European and Finland is not. They’re Eastern Europe. There are Eastern European countries well west of them.

There's your problem. You've never been there.

And to your point
Hungary and Romania aren't Eastern Europe either.
They're only called that because they were Communist.
It's a lazy distinction

I would actually love to go to Prague. There are a few other places that wouldn’t be bad to visit.

What? You’re acting like this is opinion when it’s not. There’s some semantics involved as to countries a part of multiple regions but east Europe are countries in the east part of Europe. This has been the case in every formal piece of literature I’ve ever seen on the subject.
quote:
Eastern Europe, as defined by the United Nations Statistics Division, includes the countries of Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, and Slovakia, as well as the republics of Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine. In some sources, Eastern Europe is defined as the nations bordered by the Baltic and Barents seas on the north; the Adriatic, Black, and Caspian seas and the Caucasus Mountains on the south; and the Ural Mountains. Using this definition, the nations of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro (formerly Yugoslavia), which the UNSD categorizes as Southern Europe, would be included. This definition also includes the Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, considered by the UN as Northern Europe.

You can quote Wikipedia.
I'm telling you as someone who has lived there. Baltic countries don't consider themselves Eastern Euro.

Your quote is wrong too

Currently in eastern europe, so ive been thinking a lot about the developmental differences of east vs west. My current and totally uninformed theory is that eastern Europe was constantly fricked over by the empires and invaders. Probably only 1 factor of many.
Posted on 6/9/18 at 9:08 am to athenslife101
I’d love to visit any Eastern European country that doesn’t sit on the southern border of Russia.

Hate to burst your bubble Mr. Personality but you are wrong. Romanians most definitely consider themselves Eastern European and it has nothing to do with Communism.
I saw this thread and decided to present the question to the 5 Romanian nationals that I have working for me, it was unanimous, they all consider themselves Eastern European.
Where I work is like the UN, around 15 different nationalities from all over Europe and Africa.
One of my closest colleagues lives in Serbia, they still have it rough there. Romania has made progress though.

If you were a male born in 1923 in Russia, you only had a 20% change of surviving until 1946. Pretty shifty odds.

Would Czechoslovakia be considered Eastern Europe??
It's a pretty cool place, I mean.... has its own Category in porn! Great porn!

Czech Republic is defintely Central/Eastern Europe.
Hell, there’s a huge push to include Germany as a part of Central/Eastern Europe. So many Germans lived in Eastern Europe and colonized it for centuries. Prussia extended into modern day Russia
