European plain
The eastern part of that area in gray, from about the Danube River eastward, is what we call the "Russian steppes" or Eastern European steppes" here. I never really knew what a "steppe" was until you called it the "European Plains", and I thank you for that connection.Spme of my ancestors came from that area, when the "steppe herders" invaded westward into Europe and took over lands from the farmers and hunter-gatherers, a conflict exemplified in the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel. Do you suppose history may be about to repeat itself yet again?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
