Is hungary, czech republic, croatia really eastern europe???

Most European countries share historical development processes of architectural styles, starting from pre-Romanesque, to Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classicism, Art Nouveau (also called Secessionism or Jugendstil), Cubism, Functionalism (modern concrete blocks incl. ccmmie blocks), etc.
Some countries don’t share some of these stages, for example, countries which were under Ottoman’s rule for some time have few buildings of the above styles of that period.
Greece has very few buildings in Gothic and Baroque style but has Byzantine and Ottoman style buildings instead. They destroyed many buildings built under Ottoman rule after establishing independence.
Russia doesn’t share most of these stages except for some baroque and art nouveau buildings. It developed its own styles.

I think Mr. Putin has gotten some political traction now in some of the former countries that were part of the communist bloc back in those cold 'olden' days.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather choose 'Asiatic' as you say, then seeing my country's beautiful ladies wearing burkas and hijabs, while a fresh terror attack breaks out every week.
I hear Sweden is now hosting a woman-only festival, there were so many rape incidents in the previous summer. The New Years Eve parties in Germany haven't been going too well either as I heard.

We only hear about these issues in the news because east of Austria we haven't got a single terror attack in our 'Asiatic' countries. On the other hand we've been getting more and more German and English "refugees", I don't know if we should let them in.
