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.^[1]^[2] Those lands are described as situated "between two": "between two worlds, between two stages, between two futures".^[3]

The concept differs from that of Central and Eastern Europe which is based on criteria^[4] whereby the states of Central and Eastern Europe belong to two different geographical regions of Europe.
