Eastern Europeans have been indoctrinated by the atheist communists for 100 years. This does not foster a love for God now does it? Are you saying there is a genuine Christian movement in Eastern Europe now? What is your evidence?
And I wouldn't be so quick to grant virtuous status to Russia - it is still an oppressive nation with godless communistsn still in control in many aspects, with sky high levels of corruption, alcoholism, drug abuse, and crime.
