Explanation:

"JE/astern Europe, a label applied to the lands situated between the German- and

Italian-speaking region in the west and the Russian-Ukrainian-Belarus region in

the east, is a term that is not accepted and is even resented by those who live

there. They consider themselves to live geographically in Central Europe or

Southeastern Europe and culturally to belong to the West. "Vfet in the West, they

are considered to be Eastern Europeans. As such, they are neglected by scholars

and even more by the media and the general public except when events in their

lands are sensational or historic enough to Warrant coverage on the front page or

die network news. This interest in Eastern Europe never lasts very long, and the

great majority of those presenting the news and an even larger percentage of

those reading or listening to it have great difficulty placing the people involved in

a geographic or historical context. During the cold war, this neglect of the more

than 130 million people who live in the region became even worse: they were

considercd nothing more than satellites of the Soviet Union, incapable of

dcciding thcir own fate just as they had been in the earlier part of the Century

when they followed Germany's lead.

The end of the cold war, the collapse both of the Soviet Union and of

Communist parties around the globe, and the end of Communist rule in Eastern

Europe and the former Soviet empire spurred a deeper and more prolonged

interest in diese people and countries, and it was this interest that prompted this

volume. This book is not designed for experts, but for those who would like to

know why the people of this region behave as they do since gaining their

indqx'ndcnce, and why nationalism has replaced communism as the major force

dietating thcir Ixhavior. "
