Stop saying "Eastern Europe" or "Central Europe".
They actually prefer the term Communist Europe

@Bayer444 I find it hilarious how Central Europe (Mitteleuropa) is a German term for their sphere of influence, but Post-Soviet satellites readily adopted it in order to distance themselves from Russia.

@Bayer444 Central Europe is just whatever part of Europe Germany should control economically, politically or otherwise. Thats more or less the origin of the term.

East is anything Russian smelling.
