Where in the world is Eastern Europe

I think a lot of people struggle with the sheer scale of Russia and the fact that it's both European and Asian.

The size of Europe compared to Australia


The size of Australia compared to Russia


The size of America compared to Russia

Exactly! It's mind blowing and I say that as someone who has visited all three.

There's also an interesting discussion to be had about Russia and where it's historically seen itself, with it looking towards Europe and at times emphasizing itself as culturally European when geography may just as easily justify it being seen as primarily Asian.

But that's probably not one for a boxing forum

GGG is 1300 kms away from the most Eastern border of Eastern Europe.

Well, GGG should certainly never be described as Eastern European. He's from central Asia.
