Why is it that Western Europeans show hostility towards eastern Europe, but eastern Europeans usually show respect and admiration for western Europe? I noticed that lots of western Europeans think of east Europeans as sort of low quality and 2nd class Europeans, which is funny because I wouldn't want to be western European - I do find western Europe to be cozy compard to eastern Europe, but west Europe's history and culture is extremely boring to me.

Is it more of just a rivalry between the Slavic vs. Germanic speakers or is it something more? And don't act like this tension between east & west doesn't exist because it does, in the form of mail-order bride, gypsy & vodka jokes coming mainly from western Europeans.

Why they hate each other? That's simple. Because of east-Communist, more totalitarian, west-Capitalist, more democratic and well structured.
Nowadays the difference is mostly in price and in the local language. Most of Eastern Europe has Slavic languages, but not all of it. Eastern Europe used to be Communist, and sometimes you still see it in the way people in the shops and restaurants behave, like they do not need to be friendly, as you have nowhere else to go. There are still a lot of old fashioned hotels, where comfort was not the most important, but it is changing fast, although in different speads in different countries....:shrug: Western Europe is more expensive, multicultural, more service orientated and hospitality has changed slowly over the years most hotels are up to standards. (Often more than the budget traveler likes, as almost all places also charge for having the facilities.):rain:

It's a good job you don't want to be Western European, but unfortunately millions and millions of your fellow Easterners do, and come here, driving down wages and expecting us to give them free healthcare and welfare benefits. That's why we don't like them.

It is reasonable to perceive poorer nations with higher crime rates with greater negativity. Czechs, for instance, are mostly admired (see e.g. this (http://www.economist.com/node/16003661)). When Eastern Europeans show comparable merit, they will not be treated as lower class Europeans.

I don't think EU immigrants are very interested in free healthcare and welfare. They tend to leave the UK once done with the money. Unlike third worlders.

Always connected the East with spirituality, even after the damages communism has done here. So, I'm proud being Eastern with all the negatives and positives, despite all the stereotypes. There will always be "fight" between the two Europes, however I suggest my Western European fellows never to forget from where actually the Civilization before Rome comes. And, yes, we have plenty of jokes and stereotypes agains you as well;)
And if there wasn't Eastern Europe, you Westerners would never know what cheap alcohol, prostitutes and unpunished crime is. Something many of your citizens seem to search here, the same as Easterners wanting your money and work, isn't? So, you see both flocks have their own black sheep. Both equally black if you ask me.

But many Eastern Europeans don't speak well or nice of my country. :( And some of the unpleasant immigrants have their roots in the eastern parts of the continent. What amazes me is that Russians, Hungarians or Ukrainians like Germans and aren't much of a problem when being here, but that Poles or Czechs are full of mistrust.

I'm not even really speaking to this forum, or even actual age. It's a state of mind. Eastern Europeans, having emerged from communist tyranny, seem to have more positive attitudes. Western Europeans (I'm not speaking of all of them, of course) seem to be unsure of their place in the world. I think it's because they've been used to ruling it, and no longer do.

No they don't. It's been over 50 years now, you can't attribute everything to the Europe's fall from grace.

Europe is just having to deal with all the economic and immigration and societal issues at the moment. America is hardly in fine shape itself.
I don't think there's a "mid-life crisis", more an uncertainty as to how we should handle things.

They certainly do, the Eastern Europeans know the danger of the insidious growing socialism/communism in the west. In fact some of those who screamed the first warnings of this situation were Russian and Eastern European refugees who are now academics in Australia.

From my observations, they are influenced by German culture, many of them have German surnames for example and they are the most Western from all Slavs, but there are people there who don't like Germans, and none of those who i personally know speaks German. They also don't like Russians. They are my favorite European nation-perfect blend of Slavic spirit and Germanic influenced culture, peaceful mentality... :thumb001:

My "village" is Subcarpathian if you want to go into details. If Karl said it,I think I remember him as being a Germanic supremacist(he even considers catholic Germans to be less German and more "infected by Romans"), then it's clear that all Westerners think so,well that and the fact that we're also soulless vampires. I guess I'll have to ask him,if that's the case,then why Romanians were the only ones to be given command of German troops during World War 2. It's also the case with Americans(the Brits were the only others that commanded American troops in American military history).
So besides Karl is there anybody I,Unurautareşcu(btw great nick,I think I'll use it the 1st chance I get :D), should be worried that I'm looked at as a gypsy?*cries*

lol, Germans only used Romanians as cannon fodder, meat shields, low quality disposable infantry, etc. Romanians had to fake that they were descendants of Gepids, when Romanians are actually more similar to Slavs than Germans. :coffee: Antonescu was a traitor, I'm sure if Romanians sided with the USSR they would of actually been rewarded Moldova and got to hold on to it rather than only keep it for a few seconds.

Boudica,"Rep.Moldova" was part of the Soviet Union until it collapsed. To make it short: Medieval Romanian states Moldova+Wallachia formed modern Romania but Russia took half of Moldavia in the 19th century,Romania got that part back after World War 1,USSR took it again after World War 2,USSR dissolved-> that part formed "Rep.Moldova".

There's some hostility towards Eastern Europe in Norway, but this is due to two main reasons. One is the constant threats and hostility by Soviet Russia against us, including repeated threats of nuclear obliteration (the last time was in 1995). The other reason is the flow of criminals and prostitutes from Eastern Europe after the collapse of the USSR and the establishment of the Schengen agreement.

We get organised crime from the Baltics, the Balkans, Poland and Russia, and we get a Gypsy infestation from Romania, and when Norwegians hear on the news about crime being committed and the perpetrators are described as "Latvian citizen" or "Romanian citizen" over and over again, it creates hostility.

Maybe not great education of some Westerners? Its very funny to observe a Westerner: consisting of elements of Mendeleev table; wathing TV in the version fully developed and patented (in the USPTO) by Zvorykin (up to the terms "iconoscope" (in the camera) and "kinescope" (in the TV-receiver));viewning from the morning to the night various Hollywood shit that is based on the method of Stanislavsky (Alekseev in reality, from the merchant family - "muzhyk" :) ) and flying sometimes on helicopters by Sikorski (an engineer of Russian school having Polish roots) :D and saying: Easterners are bullshit! There are were neither Hitler nor modern America, nor modern Europe without Russian revolution.

How much of that hostility is caused by the fact that some other types of immigrants might be more worthy targets for it, but for ... certain reasons they cannot be even legitimately criticised?

I see this phenomenon here in Finland to some extent.

I could bet that something like 90% of all problems are not made by Eastern Europeans, but by Muslim Immigrants from both Europe (Albania, Bosnia) and North Africa/Near East/Middle East. And anyway, if these Northern countries do need immigrants and labour force, any Eastern European wave would be much much much more closer genetically, culturally, much easier to integrate, than any non European wave. Also, if they don't need immigrants, why are the Northerners letting them to settle down??

I think there's more hostility towards certain Islamic and African nationalities than Eastern Europeans in general, and Gypsies (who aren't even European genetically) are among the most disliked coming from Eastern Europe.

I don't think Norwegians dislike Slavs in general or Eastern European nations in general, but when we get a lot of criminals from Eastern Europe (organised crime and theft is more of an Eastern European phenomenon, not Middle Eastern or African), it causes more hostility towards immigration, the EU and the Schengen agreement.

In my opinion, the inner conflicts of Europe (regions of a country against other regions, neighbour countries one against the other etc) are much better represented than an overall West vs East thing. The conflicts I see are more, say, South and Southwest vs Balkans (Iberia, Italia, Greece vs Balkans) or West and Northwest vs Muslims (Germanic world vs Turks etc).

organised crime and theft is more of an Eastern European phenomenonIs it still true? Certainly the organized crime was on the rise after the fall of communism, but the former happened decades ago.

I could bet that something like 90% of all problems are not made by Eastern Europeans, but by Muslim Immigrants from both Europe (Albania, Bosnia) and North Africa/Near East/Middle East. And anyway, if these Northern countries do need immigrants and labour force, any Eastern European wave would be much much much more closer genetically, culturally, much easier to integrate, than any non European wave. Also, if they don't need immigrants, why are the Northerners letting them to settle down??

We are supposed to accept and welcome Eastern European criminals because they are white? :mad:

I wonder, how many Slavs are sitting on Norwegian dotations right now? If many - we are really untermenchens.

I don't think a lot of Slavs get "donations" from us, and certainly not many Russians. However, it's common for Norwegians to send things (clothing, food) and money to countries like Moldova, the Ukraine and Romania. My grandmother alone has probably helped hundreds of Moldovans by knitting socks for them and sending them clothes. :)

Yes it is. Every year we have a series of robberies of various stores (goldsmiths, clothing stores, even opticians), car thefts, ATM thefts etc. Police claim organised crime has been on the rise in Norway in the past few years. I think Schengen might be part of the reason why.

Organised Eastern European crime is a big problem for us right now. We also see corganised crime coming from the Balkans, with ex-military people who fought in the Balkan war taking part in bank robberies in Scandinavia.

Not sure... Maybe it still has to do with the barbaric way that Germans treated Eastern Europeans in the second world war. Then the East whips their asses and all they can do is complain. 50 something years later, they open their borders to Eastern European immigrants. Many low quality people leave and head west, bringing with them their crime. And there you go, fuel for the fire. Ignorance kicks in and your typical German citizen blaims the Slavs for all their problems. They are good at blaming others for problems they created. Maybe they should have kept their borders shut to criminals. But no, it was the Americans that made them open their borders blahblah blah blahblah. It must be a Western thing to blame others for their own problems. As for the East, it does not help that they were Communists. We all need to move on. Of course, that will never happen. I have met countless amounts of Slavs who hate Germans, and I have never met a German who had anything nice to say about Slavs.

I don't have anything about Easterners because I don't know a number large enough to have an opinion, but it is true that -unless you're friends with nice people from those countries- most of the Easterners working around here don't contribute to the improvement of their image.

By the way, the only country I can't consider Eastern, specially after having visited it twice, is Hungary. Neither Western. It might be the only real central European country, IMO.

Bro let's look at it with a calm mind, East Germany is genetically very Slavic ( Wends/Sorbs etc ). In other words they are Slavs that speak German. No point hating them. Germans that are alive today have not done any harm to us. Genetically like it or not we have significant Germanic component depending on the study from 16 to almost 35 %. The old joke that Poles are just a bunch of Germans that went on a day trip to Russia and forgot their way back home. ;) But in all reality, hate like greed destroys everything in its path and most of all those who do the hating. leave the past behind, forgive and move on. We have more pressing issues now.

The problem with your attitude is that if those Germans are replaced by Third Worlders it'll almost certainly be more dangerous for Poles than Germans are.

I'm rarely accused of being either a Germanophile or a Russophile, but replacing either population with largely Islamic populations won't be doing any of us any favors.

Of course, he talked about his respect for the property, about raschudesny image of German soldiers, scorned the Soviet zoldat, toilet paper, civilized, cultural, educated and charming, but in reality it was obvious that admiration went in, including from the fact that Poles - these despicable slaves
