Post-Soviet Transition

The Post-Soviet Transition refers to the period after the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991, when its former republics shifted from centrally planned economies and authoritarian governance to independent nations with market economies and democratic institutions. This process involved significant political, economic, and social changes, including privatization of state assets, establishing new governments, and integrating into global markets. While some countries experienced rapid reforms, others faced challenges like economic instability, corruption, and conflict. Overall, it marked a complex transition from a shared communist system to diverse, sovereign nations with varying development paths.
