The problem is that these eastern europeans are shaped by Germany and Russia.
Half of them are former german fiefdoms and other half are territories reclaimed by Russia from ottoman muslim rule.

Not sure which Eastern Europeans you mean, but I can assure you most of those 150 mil people were not happy they got conquered by nazis or commies, it was the same amount of genocide and societal damage from both sides.
