How are the modern governments of these memenations doing right

You're going to have to be more specific.

Like Poland, Slovakia and Hungary are pretty good, Moldova and Ukraine have problems with Russians not being dead, Belarus is blissfully unaware that the USSR doesn't exist any more, Kosovo is just one large crime family, and Serbia is mad for getting the shit bombed out of them.

Tell me more about Belarus and Romania

Moldova is poorer than Albania, and that's saying something.

To be honest, I don't know anything about Bulgaria or Romania or Belarus and I'm really keen to start somewhere

Belarus has a non-democratic government and a state capitalist economy. Although there's some private enterprise, 75% of individuals work for state-owned firms.

What do the rest of the world have to say of such obvious totalitarianism ?

>>1861643
They don't hurt anybody so nobody really cares.

It's not really any worse than Singapore

What's Belarussian culture like? Is it identical to Russian? What are the most unique or specific aspects of their culture?

>>1861643
It's Belarus.

They're a little annoyed that there's still a state in Europe that has a security service called the KGB, that acts like the KGB, but it's kind of a minor issue compared to the Serbs chimping out or Albania's government collapsing.

I think Europeans view Eastern Europe roughly the way Americans view Latin America.

Belarus has the least distinctive culture of any of the former Soviet Socialist Republics.

Like, nobody even bothered to write a history of their country until 1910.

They're like Russia's Canada.

Note that after Russia invaded Ukraine, the tin-pot despot in charge of Belarus got scared that the Russians would do the same thing to him, and started to turn away from the Kremlin.

I wonder what it's like to be a despot in the white world. Could they get away with everything?

>Lukashenko later stated that he had rigged the election results, but against himself, in order to obtain a majority more typical of European countries. Although he had won 93.5% of the vote, he said, he had directed the government to announce a result of 86%.[50][51]
