The whole point of importing H1Bs from areas with questionable past ethical standards in economical distress (India, China, ex-Soviet union, EEU etc.) was for some managers to have a workforce that could do dirty jobs a regular US/WEU citizen would refuse to do (and do it cheaply ofc). You can still observe it even in FANG that is specifically poaching people from EEU for dirty work (e.g. building internal censorship tools led by Ukrainian/Romanian/non-US devs).

Alright, I meant Eastern (members of) European Union (EEU) vs Western (members of) European Union (WEU). You could see it sometimes abbreviated that way. Didn't occur to me it denotes Eurasian union (I thought that one was largely defunct anyway?).
The "Ukrainian" portion was related to "ex-Soviet Union" I mentioned there (cough) ;-) No need to be so academic here lol
With Eurasian union I thought that Ukraine basically killed it and since then Kazakhstan is trying to get rid of cyrilic and Lukashenko is all in to be either the Russian boss and Putin successor or moving Belarus towards EU, so the original Eurasian union idea is toast. At least from my outsider perspective (never visited any ex-Soviet Union countries, just knew some people from there, both pro and anti-western ones).
