There was a country, a vast confederation of many states, one of the largest in history. Then on December 25, 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. With it came the end of the Cold War, and hope for freedom and independence for the former Soviet republics. But for many, it also brought poverty and war. What remains of the dreams of that time? What does freedom look like today, which in large areas is still being fought for? What role is Russia playing in the post-Soviet structure? We have spoken to contemporary witnesses and politicians of those decisive years, searched for clues to the then multi-ethnic empire in Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Chechnya and Lithuania, and talked to experts about this historical upheaval. #DWDocumentaryहिन्दी #DWहिन्दी #USSR ------------------------------------------------ If you liked the video and want to see more such interesting videos, don't forget to subscribe to us.
