No Mate, Eastern Europe does have fascinating history behind it (to the extent that Western European History often clouds it out) but nevertheless, Western Europe was just as if not more civilized pre/post Rome.
Also, you can't really argue that Eastern Europe remained more civilized/developed than Western Europe (if it did) for long due to the centralisation of political authority, innovation, re-birth of classical knowledge and economic development in Western Europe which lead to a rapid growth in the West, when the East (particularly Austria, Hungry and Poland) were effectively buffer zones against Ottoman expansionism.
