    In the modern context the orientalization of eastern europe is less severe for sure and Russia orthodoxy is more understood but I think its arguable that everything east of germany has experience with being orientalized

      Ehhh… I’d have to disagree with that. The meaning of “the orient” has changed drastically over time, but even in the early days the furthest west it would encompass would be the caucuses, and even that’s pretty rare.
