post-Soviet studies

Post-Soviet studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the political, social, economic, and cultural changes in countries that were once part of the Soviet Union after its dissolution in 1991. It analyzes how these nations transitioned from communist rule to varied forms of government and market economies, addressing issues like national identity, democratization, conflict, and globalization. The field also explores the legacy of Soviet history, regional dynamics, and the challenges faced during this transformation, providing insights into the broader processes of state-building and societal change in the post-Communist world.
