Traditionally Germany belongs to eastern europe and Russia to the north.
Edit: seriously, downvotes? Before the east-west divide russia was considered north Europe because it lies so far up in the north. Germany was already seen as eastern Europe because Europe centered more around France. Even today the geographical center of Europe lies well into eastern Europe.
- Chos89 10y agoI don't agree with your statement but I agree it's not a cause to get downvoted. Russia stretched from the Baltic sea to the Black sea for a good part of history so calling Russia north Europe is wrong imo. And Germany was always center Europe
