Eastern Europe
Geographic features of Eastern Europe

Eastern Europe, also known as East Europe, is the eastern part of the European continent.

The main definition describes Eastern Europe as a cultural (econo-cultural and religious) entity: the region lying in Europe with the main characteristics consisting of Byzantine, Eastern Orthodox, and some Turco-Islamic influences.

With certain simplifications, Eastern Europe starts either where Slavic Europe begins or, in other stricter definitions, where Cyrillic alphabet use and Eastern Orthodox Christianity begin, with the Balkans and the Caucasus complementing this group.

This definition is fulfilled by Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova as well as the countries of Southeast Europe and the Balkans: Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, the European part of Turkey, and three Caucasus countries: Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
