Soviet republics and Estonia
Video Summary
Here is a summary of the article:
The Soviet Union was an imperial power that covered over 15% of the Earth’s landmass, comprising 15 Soviet Socialist Republics. After its collapse, these countries became independent, but many had to overcome significant challenges to establish their own languages, cultures, and governments. Estonia, for example, worked hard to distance itself from its Soviet past, getting rid of Russian influences and adopting a market economy and democracy. Other countries, like Ukraine and Georgia, also sought to distance themselves from Russia, while some, like Belarus and Kazakhstan, continued to maintain close ties with Russia. The article highlights the struggles and tensions that many of these countries faced in their transitions, including the displacement of ethnic groups, border disputes, and conflicts over language and culture. Despite these challenges, the article ends on a hopeful note, with many countries moving towards freedom and peace.
