	"Asia begins at the Landstrasse:" Comparing Eastern European and European histories
		Without a knowledge of Eastern European history, it is easy to simply define the area as a transition zone between the better-defined countries of Western or Central Europe on the one side, and Russia on the other.
		Eastern Europeans in general have played a role in European life which is often overlooked.
		In Eastern Europe, McNeill believes that the effect of greater group cohesiveness (based on geography) instead turned the basically predatory habits of the ruling group inward: instead of preying on far flung communities across the steppe, Magyar nobles and Ottoman ghazis began to prey upon their own sedentary peasant populations.

	YAM November 1996 - Eastern European Identity
		Eastern Europeans often received one version of history at home, and another at school.
		The Eastern Europeans seemed especially taken with the idea that a single program, like American Studies, could encompass the culture of a whole region: its music, art, literature, theater, and dance.
		Another field of study that intrigued the Eastern Europeans was Yale's multicultural offerings: courses on literature and history from all parts of the world.

	Stalin and Eastern Europe
		I would like to also say that the design in which he got Eastern Europe was a direct consequence of his luck- the first and foremost based upon Stalin's psyche and the effect it had on the way he interpreted the actions of the West.
		Later, weaker eastern European countries fell under the shadow of Communism because their friends in the West were unable or unwilling to come to their defense.
		However, if Stalin is to play the historical kidnapper role, with Eastern Europe as the "child," we should put some blame on the "parents." Obviously not realizing that ceding great land area to the Soviets was much like the appeasement a decade earlier, the West once again, gave the lives of millions to a madman.

		Nor are the situations and the political and social structures of the present Eastern European nations comparable to those of the Western European ones in 1947.
		The most valuable asset that a knowledge of American institutions and of the American constitutional tradition may offer to Eastern Europeans is precisely a knowledge of those guarantees of American freedoms that the Constitution of the United States established and protected against the dangers of the tyranny of popular or populist majorities.
		This is particularly applicable to those Eastern European states where the liberties and the lives of certain national minorities may be even more endangered now than during the wretched uniformities of their Communist governments.

		Some of the Eastern European countries have put themselves at further risk in their EU status by reportedly allowing the CIA to operate secret prisons for suspects in the US war against terrorism.

		Europeans tend to view sexuality pragmatically, as both “a normal part of growing up and [emphasis in original] a responsibility to protect oneself and others.”
		Perhaps more important, Western European teens are more sexually responsible than their U.S. counterparts, who have much higher rates of pregnancy, STDs, and abortion.
		This point of view, which is reinforced by mass media and by open access to reproductive health care and contraceptives, guides national efforts to provide adolescents with the knowledge and services to protect themselves.

	Coastal Plain
		The Coastal Plain is the youngest of Virginia's physiographic provinces, its rocks having been deposited after the Atlantic Ocean began to form early in the Mesozoic.
		Where the softer sedimentary rocks of the Coastal Plain abut the more resistant metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont, a low escarpment is visible on the landscape.
		Distinction may thus be made between that part of the Coastal Plain that is submerged, the continental shelf, and that that is exposed above sea level, merely known as the coastal plain.

		Eastern European food has also been influenced by religious traditions.
		These are a light version (light being a relative term) flavored with crumbled feta cheese and a mixture of chopped fresh herbs; we used thyme, oregano, and parsley, though dill might have been more traditional.
		The eastern influence in the bread is the feta cheese kneaded into the eggy dough, the roasted peppers and olives that decorate the top.

	How Eastern Europe fits into the European Translation Market
		Eastern European countries leapfrogged with regards to technology, from having nothing to having the most modern IT infrastructure available.
		I have been to many meetings with the Eastern European management of Global 100 companies and have felt about as important to their business as a garbage man (ooops, politically correct, "waste disposal specialist").
		I can't speak for all Eastern European countries, but I can speak for Poland and say that the commercial code was written for manufacturing facilities, not office work.

		Central and Eastern Europe is not an economically homogeneous bloc and disparities in the pace and depth of ongoing transformations continue to widen the differences between countries.

	Dienekes' Anthropology Blog: mtDNA distribution in European Russian populations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This mitotype group may contain Asian and some minor European haplogroups, the members of macrohaplogroup N. Finally, the most “specific” Tambov oblast is located at the border between the Eastern European and the steppe complex, the anthropological specificity of which was repeatedly mentioned in a number of studies [1, 20].
		In the territory of the eastern European plain have been isolated several local combinations, that are differentiated, in essence, by variations in the cephalic index, and by the width and proportions of the face.
		Analysis of these indices along with the anthropological data provided identification of a number of regional groups within the populations examined, which could either result from the interaction of ancient Slavs with different non-Slavic tribes, or could be caused by the ethnic heterogeneity of the ancient Slavs themselves.

		In the course of European history, a great variety of peoples in this region created their own independent states, sometimes quite large and powerful; in connection with Western Europe they developed their individual national cultures and contributed to the general progress of European civilization.
		Leaving aside its western, homogeneously German section, only the eastern section can be roughly identified with the “new” or “unknown” field of study which is being introduced here into the general framework and pattern of European history.
		Following the Croats and Serbs, who moved to the frontiers of the Eastern Empire and who were soon to cross these frontiers in their invasion of the Balkans, the Slovenes occupied a territory much larger than present-day Slovenia, and from the Danubian Plain penetrated deep into the Eastern Alps.
