  • This classification could use an improvement, not all of these are Eastern or Northern Europe. The UK’s economy for example employs a soft Anglo-Saxon model, whereas Estonia and most of the Nordics use a Nordic model (the best imo). And then there are the cultural associations - many people from Poland and co would argue they are central, not eastern European - because in their view, they associate eastern with Russia.

    That said, a more sensible division imho would be:

    Northern

    • Norway
    • Sweden
    • Denmark
    • Finland
    • Iceland
    • Faroe Islands

    Western

    • Netherlands
    • Belgium
    • Luxembourg
    • France
    • United Kingdom
    • Ireland
    • Monaco

    Central

    • Germany
    • Austria
    • Czechia
    • Poland
    • Hungary
    • Switzerland

    Northeastern

    • Lithuania
    • Latvia
    • Estonia

    Southwest

    • Portugal
    • Spain
    • Italy
    • Vatican
    • San Marino

    Southeast

    • Slovenia
    • Croatia
    • Bosnia
    • Serbia
    • Montenegro
    • Kosovo
    • Greece
    • Bulgaria
    • Romania

    Eastern

    • Ukraine
    • Belarus
    • Moldova
    • Russia








  • Then definitely Estonia, or Lithuania. Although I think it’d be much better to live in the non-Russian part and learn Estonian/Lithuanian (and use it) there. I strongly recommend you do that last part especially.

    Alternatively, you could go to Slovakia, Russia is a minority official language there, though a lot of hospitals refuse service for transition stuff.

    For queer in general, not trans, Estonia still would be the best option.

    You could also go to Canada - there aren’t many Russian speakers, but there are small communities. Not enough to warrant a “minority” by a certain tyrant, thankfully. Winnipeg has some of them, I think.
