This article is a personal view of current East European evolutions. The author proposes a vision of a split Europe and depicts the historical processes tracing out new frontiers across the continent. The features of the future European slums represent the extrapolation of some characteristics of the Romanian situation and of its difficulties of reintegrating into Western civilization. To the extent that this same situation is specific to the other ex-socialist states in the Balkan peninsula, they will share the common destiny of a separate development counter to Central and Western Europe, being pushed to the periphery of European civilization. The author's intention is to trigger the world through presenting a dystopia of a community doomed to live in the servants' quarters of the future European house.
