      We are at 15°E, which is the meridian of Central European Time. Our culture is way closer to Germans than Russians. And would you call Dresden Eastern Europe?

      But yes, there is some divide so if you need to draw the line somewhere, it makes sense to split ethnically Slavic and Germanic countries so I see a reason behind that. There is no such justification for PragerU’s name choice.
