Italy got a lot of scientists and are Romance speakers.
Sweden compared to Norway got a lot more scientists.
I do not think is relevant to what group of people your ethnicity belongs,in how good a University is .
For example,Russians and Ukrainians are almost same people,but education is a lot more developed in Russia,compared to Ukraine.
As for your note that Eastern Europe Universities are not in the top ,that is really not important for me,because this is only a measurement done by some people way of seeing things.
A more fair measurement of how good education+how people in a country are is the number of medals at international Olimpics,where things are quite different.
Here for example the results of International Mathematical Olympiad:

Yes, I was about to post something similar. Also ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest shows that the winners of the past 13 years always came from either Russia, Poland or China.
Before the winners were always from english-speaking countries and the contest itself was founded in the US. The shift to the east happened around year 2000. Interesting again is the absense of south europeans.
The university ranking posted by Maciamo seems to incorporate also past performances (prices, publications, citations), so one should be cautious as the contest results might change the ranking if these eastern countries catch-up economically. I think the university ranking indeed does reflect economic power because intellectual capacity must be applied in an organized way in order to be successful.
