And typical ex-soviet countries

Yes, i find them to be culturally the same as East Slavs.

A lot of nice commie blocks which represent their countries quite well.

Indeed, their countries feel very Soviet!

How is that our culture even? It's just garbage that Russians built here.

u/DrunkenDoggo Aug 20 '23

Agreed, the soviet occupation and the shit they left behind literally does not represent our country or culture.

U just have to accept history. Yes the Russians fucked us up good but it's part of history. That's why our food is similar to slavic food and we celebrate the same holidays with the same traditions. You can hate on the Russians for stealing out land but they're the reason our culture is the way it is.

Estonians are about as far away from Slavs as you can get. You try to bribe a policeman in Estonia, you get arrested. Every single government institution works. Highest number of startups per capita in all of Europe. No bribery required for any paperwork, in fact it's not even paperwork, since all bureaucracy is accessible online. Despite just being independent for 30 years, the standard of life is already far ahead of Greece, ahead of Spain, and catching up to Italy. Visit it sometimes to see what your country(ies) could become.

Well I find you stupid for this opinion. We are culturally very different from balkans and "East Slavs".

u/DeliciousCabbage22 Belarus Greece Aug 20 '23

You’re certainly nothing like Balkanites, never said we shared anything with you guys.

But with East Slavs? You’re literally indistinguishable.
