EASTERN EUROPE IS AN odd place. It’s not so long ago historically that it was a patchwork of small countries, principalities and dukedoms. These amalgamated, divided and amalgamated again with different partners so you would never have been sure what piece of ground belonged to whom and from when. For an effective image of what that meant, take a look at maps of Poland over the last few hundred years.
