If I just rename every classic fantasy creature or monster into sounding Eastern European like calling a Vampire a 'Wąpierz' then does that make my setting slavic now?

Depends.
Please keep in mind that Poland is in a fairly unique spot, and its fantasy being a combination of a broad array of influences comes from it being quite literally in the center of Europe.

yes

polish propaganda.

the best way to put it is center-east.
it has always occupied a boarder aspect to it. A Rhine Burger life is a good deal different then a semi-step polish horse noble.

Polish propaganda? Amazing that Polish propaganda is in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Is Britannica a Polish province?

I woundlt doubt it with the number of polish toilet cleaners in england. Not unlikely they cleaned a toilet on the house in exchange for that. Granted no one wants to be groupped in with the ruskies, so its understandable.

Things eastern about poland:

>semi-steppe civilization.
>former eastern block

Its very much a transitional ground. there really should be a word for the corridor spaning poland, slovakia and hungry that seperates the firmly east from the firmly west.

Yugoslavia is southern Slav, but not eastern bloc.
Like Poland, only nation that fought against Nazi Germany and Soviet Union throughout the War.
