”På östfronten intet nytt” är en sliten version på originalet som dessutom handlade om västfronten och myntades under andra världskriget. Det har hänt en del på östfronten sedan dess och även sedan Elton John sjöng Nikita på albumet Ice on fire 1985.
Murarna är för länge sedan rivna och kapitalismen flödar. Nu boomar också startupscenen i öst. Bara i november tog följande startups in pengar.
