True, this is slightly more fundamental, although I'm not sure what it is that you call obvious. Politics? Vodka intolerance? Lack of feta and retsina? For me personally, it's a bit because the (limited number of) additional species and the landscape diversity seem less appealing than that in the rest of Europe. There's a Darevskia waiting for you in Crimea, in any case, Peter.
(BTW, I believe the Glandt guide actually offers more than Europe.)
