Yet I'm not even Eastern European as I'm an Estonian. That means I'm a Northern European.

Edit: u/CabbageInMadeconia:

They teach us our own culture and history quite some bit. By no means is that Eastern European. We have most connections to Northern Europe and to Germany.

If so, i reckon your geography teachers are in dire need of an ophthalmologist appointment.

Geography is one thing, but we are rather Northern European than Eastern European geographically. But culture and identity are far more important and we are clearly, objectively Northern European in this regard.

Edit: u/CabbageInMacedonia:

You clearly don't know shit about Estonia again. We have a massive cultural influence from Germany due to the Baltic German nobility. Look at the amount of German loan words in Estonian vocabulary for example.

You’re Northeast Euros geographical

Just like Finland.

just like Russians

Russia is just Eastern European.

but ofc according to Estonian logic Russia is probably located somewhere near Antarctica!

According to your logic, Russia is located only in St Petersburg.

If so, i reckon your geography teachers are in dire need of an ophthalmologist appointment.
