technology, economy and military, Western Europe is more advanced in all of these.
The people who lived in Eastern Europe were largely, if not completely, cut off from the Western world. They also did not have many of the basic freedoms we take for granted.
Eastern Europe was cut off from the West primarily during the Cold War by the Soviet Union, which established communist regimes in several countries following World War II. This division was symbolized by the Iron Curtain, a term popularized by Winston Churchill, representing the political, military, and ideological barrier between the Eastern Bloc and Western Europe. The restrictive policies of the Soviet government and the presence of military forces further isolated Eastern European nations from Western influence and democratic ideals.
There is no short answer to this question. Main linguistic regions are: scandinavian, germanic, romanic, slavic. Main religious regions are: catholic, protestant, orthodox, muslim. Main alphabetic regions are: latin, cyrillic, greek. Main climatic regions are: arctic, boreal, continental, alpine, atlantic, mediterrenean. Some of these regions overlap. Some of the borders delimiting these regions cut right trough some countries. Belgium: germanic-romanic, Germany: protestant-catholic, France: atlantic-continental-mediterrenean, etc... Depending on the criterion you use, you get different cultural regions of Europe. There are no clear regions.
Unless you include some form of coordinates it simple produces two hemispheres, providing the cut is central to the axis.

(Iron Curtain)By 1946, less than a year after the end of World War II, it became clear that the Soviet Union planned to control the Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, and other people of Eastern Europe. Stalin forced communist government on these people. He also used his secret police to arrest anyone who opposed his rule.Many Eastern Europeans tried to escape Soviet control by fleeing to the West. But the Soviets stopped them by building a barbed wire fence which cut off Eastern Europe from the West. They also blocked trade between the eastern and western parts of Europe. Winston Churchill called the Soviet-controlled border between the East and West the "Iron Curtain."
They cut barbed wire between Hungary and Austria.
