I would be very surprised if that is the real "high" point there. Maybe, the country is very small or lacks tech universities & engineering/math "tradition". Tax systems are very different in the region, but with 6 years or experience and intermediate/advanced English even in Ukraine capital the median is $54K, while the third quartile is $66K. Those are NET numbers for contractor-type empoloyment, though. According to the very latest salary widget here: https://dou.ua/salary-widget-test/?period=2021-12&position=S...

Well, they are correct. Geographical center of Europe is in Poland.

You are confusing eastern block with eastern Europe.

no, i'm just using the common definition that everybody use in (old) europe

> "central europe" is how people from post-socialist countries call eastern europe

That was my first thought when I read that. We Czechs are especially guilty of [over]using "central", because the country is very much wedged into Germany, which is decidedly western, so I hear it pretty often.

On the other hand, the European part of Russia is so huge that yes, nothing except maybe Ukraine is really on the eastern third.

And correctly so, given that center of Europe is east of Germany - in Poland. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe
