I find the premise of this very strange. Is there any proof that the kind of design described really came from Eastern Europe? Or that the most of the authors are from there? From my (brief) visits to dribbble it seemed like that kind of work was popular all around the world.

This just sounds like "Us vs. Them" to me.

Hard to say if it was intended or not. But observe how this shifts the discussion towards some sort of "outsiders". Nobody here is to blame and the life is beautiful again.
