A Guide to High School Programs in Eastern Europe & Russia
Locations
There is not an agreed upon definition as to the precise boundaries of Eastern Europe, but most commonly it is considered to include those countries east of Germany which were former members of the Soviet bloc. This area also roughly corresponds to the European regions which have been historically influenced by Orthodox, Byzantine, and Turkish cultures.
Russia has for long been the most powerful country in the region, and continues to play a role as world superpower today. Russia spans across most of Asia, but its two most popular cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, are both very close to one another in Eastern Europe. Russia has been a central force in the history of great empires, revolutions, political experiments, and world wars. Its culture and art, too, are very distinct and enriching.
While not as large and powerful as Russia, the countries of Eastern Europe have been similarly formed by deeply rooted cultural ties and tensions, and each is unique in this way. Some other popular countries for high school students to study abroad in this region include Poland, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria. Central European countries such as Austria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic are also often considered to be a part of Eastern Europe.
