Do you think Greece and Finland are culturally more eastern european countries?

[RussiaPrussia]

You do know that Greece wasn't under communism right?

prior to that greece was no different to any Baltic country

Except religion, there is nothing culturally same with Greeks and Russians

yeah but you were colonized by turks like any balkans. And neither can be said that greece is a western country same for finland, huangary, baltics and other non slavic eastern european countries. So it can fit culturally well to the eastern european scheme.

[Äike]

uralic language family isnt even indo european but an own family no way they are northern european.

You're retarded.

Basques predate Indo-Europeans in Iberia, but they aren't Iberian? That makes as much sense as saying that Finnic people, who predate Indo-Europeans in Northern-Europe with thousands of years, aren't Northern-European.

You're retarded. Study the history of Latvia and Lithuania and tell me that they're no different from Greece.

That's why making this difference is wrong.
Greece has as much similarities to Russia as it has to Denmark.So what? It can't be fit neither to west, nor to East.
Greece on the other hand has much similarities with other Southern countries, and some with Balkans.

basques dont have country they need to share their national identities with their neighbors in france and spain which is western. You also forget celtics, but like i said geographically they were always western there are not so close to the east as you are. And they dont have old relatives in russian european soil

You're retarded. Study the history of Latvia and Lithuania and tell me that they're no different from Greece.

They are no different like finland and poland. Finland was always a russian colony if they would have lost winter war they wouldnt be any different to estonia now and also called eastern european. Even you cant deny it.

i dont agree with that southern europeans are very different to greece. If the language is an own language family and the religion is the same as other eastern european countries than you can clearly link greece more to eastern europe. If you wouldnt, then i could also say that Turkey is southern european.

[Sikeliot]

Here is how I know Greece is in Eastern Europe: when I meet someone named "Katerina", "Olga", "Anastasia" or "Dimitri" I have no way of knowing which Eastern Euro ethnicity they are until I see the last name. They could be Greek, Russian, Serbian etc.

[riverman]

If one calls the Balkans east Europe then they have to call Greece eastern Europe, it's as simple as that.

Turkey is not European to begin with
We are talking about culture here.And having met people from all Europe, I have no similarities, neither to Russians, nor to Danes or Swedish. So , why do I have to fit in the Eastern/Western division, just because you like it more that way?

[Pallantides]

You also can see that Scandinavia was always viewed only for germanic countries not uralic ones.

Here is the finnished version:
