Eastern European culture has been shaped by a diverse range of influences, including Slavic, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian cultures. The spread of Christianity, particularly Orthodox and Catholic traditions, played a significant role in shaping religious and cultural practices. Additionally, the region's history of invasions and migrations, such as those by the Mongols and various Germanic tribes, has contributed to its rich cultural tapestry. In more recent history, the influence of communist ideologies and Western cultural exchanges post-Cold War have further shaped contemporary Eastern European identities.
