East-Central Europe

East-Central Europe is the region between German-, Hungarian-, and West Slavic-speaking Europe and the East Slavic countries of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Those lands are described as situated "between two": "between two worlds, between two stages, between two futures".

This article is about the geopolitical subregion of Europe. For the geographical subregion of Europe, see Central and Eastern Europe.

The concept differs from that of Central and Eastern Europe which is based on criteria whereby the states of Central and Eastern Europe belong to two different geographical regions of Europe.
