| Oct 21, 2018 at 20:47 | comment | added | RHA | No, I'm not. I travelled to to all those countries after the iron curtain fell. But you are definitely one of those younsters who thinks history is unimportant because it all happened such a long time ago. | |
| Sep 10, 2018 at 15:47 | comment | added | vartec | @RHA 30+? More like 60+, the Iron Curtain fell 29 years ago. You must be one of these elderly people who insist on keeping on saying Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Soviet Union, because "no map on Wikipedia will change that in your collective minds" | |
| Sep 8, 2018 at 12:29 | comment | added | RHA | @vartec For every 30+ European, Eastern Europe includes all countries that were east of the Iron Curtain. No map on Wikipedia will change that historical, political and economical boundary in our collective minds. | |
| Sep 8, 2018 at 1:28 | comment | added | vartec | @dbkk oh c'mon, there are clearly defined geographical names. Central Europe isn't "Eastern Europe", nor is Mexico "South America" despite millions of Americans calling it that. | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 14:54 | comment | added | dbkk | @HonzaBrabec Warsaw or Helsinki are east of Belgrade or Sarajevo too -- location of the capital is irrelevant. Let's call everyone Western, to avoid offense. | |
| Sep 7, 2018 at 11:22 | comment | added | Honza Brabec | @dbkk Yes they were. They are not now. Prague is west of Vienna so it does not make sense to call Czechia Eastern Europe and not Austria. | |
| Sep 6, 2018 at 19:07 | comment | added | dbkk | @vartec Eastern Europe is an unfashionable term, but Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland and Slovenia certainly were considered Eastern Europe not too long ago. | |
