sorry, i didnt want to sound like an ass, its just that its quite offensive ( and inacurate ) to a lot of people from those countries ( including myself ) to be called Soviet. Remember, most of the countries didnt choose to be communist, they were forced by the Russians....therefore there is a lot of resentment.
Btw, Hungary is not slavic at all....its language is pretty exclusive in every way, and has much more in common with Finish than it does with the slavic countries.
Speaking of Hungary, its very interesting to see how they do so well in watersports....especially when you consider it a land-locked nation. Kind of makes those excuses we hear about Canada being a winter country kind of lame, doesnt it?
