FYI Czechia is not considered eastern Europe, but central Europe. Sorry for the smartassery, but I needed to mention that. 😅
Depends who you ask and what the context is
No, not really.

>Eastern Europe is a subregion of the European continent. As a largely ambiguous term, it has a wide range of geopolitical, geographical, ethnic, cultural and socio-economic connotations. Its eastern boundary is marked by the Ural Mountains, and its western boundary is defined in various ways.[1] Narrow definitions, in which Central and Southeast Europe are counted as separate regions, include Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.[2] In contrast, broader definitions include Moldova and Romania, but also some or all of the Balkans, the Baltic states, the Caucasus, and the Visegrád group.

You don’t make the point you think you’re making dear.

For a reminder, this was my point: Depends who you ask and what the context is

And both articles say exactly that lol

Well, if you asked an idiot, Czechia might be defined as part of Antarctica.

The people we should ask are the Czechs.
And anyone who empathises with them will agree, it’s in central Europe.

This is not just a geographic discussion. It’s a question of whether you respect their 1000 year history of important kings and prince electors of the holy roman empire, or if you just look at the 80 years of forceful soviet occupation.

Compare traditional Czech dishes with Bavarian and with Russian dishes, you will see.

It definitely seems like a topic some are very emotional about and not just a simple geographic grouping. But I was just saying that those differing definitions exist still
