While the world is entering a major political and economic crisis as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, it may put an end to the long-standing crisis of the post-Soviet condition. The war could end it either by finally dismantling the very post-Soviet space, or by ultimately determining the contours and directions of development towards more stable political, economic and ideological structures in this tumultuous part of the world. What is the post-Soviet condition? The best answer would be that it is undefinable beyond the prefix "post", as something that replaced Soviet state socialism. But what exactly is the "something" that replaced it?

The End of a Great Era: Post-Soviet Transformation in a Historical Perspective2023 •
This article offers a conceptual and methodological apparatus for assessing periods of contemporary history. Using this apparatus and empirical data from the development of Eastern European and northern Eurasian countries over the last forty years, the article analyzes the establishment, evolution, and decline of the post-Soviet period. These developmental processes are conceptualized in terms of five categories: democratization, autocratization, marketization, nationalization, and Europeanization. The article concludes that the post-Soviet period and its structural processes have ended, and Europe and Eurasia must undergo the process of remapping their geography and adjusting their regional temporalities.
The fate of the transformation in post-soviet societies was found to be relatively troubled and contradicted with the expectations of those societies under post-communist reality. The troubles with transformation emerged in almost all dimensions of transition; basically, here I mean political, economic and socio-cultural contexts of changes. In the context of political transformation, problems and obstacles emerged in the crisis of democracy and mostly in the crisis of legitimacy of representative democracy where new elites who emerged after the collapse of Soviet Union passionately activated Robert Michel’s most prominent theory of “Iron law of oligarchy”. Economic transformation and emergence or “export” of both economic and cultural logic of liberal model of capitalism resulted with deep alienation and with introduction of social Darwinism as a standard social norm in society, and last but not at least, socio-cultural transformation based on the model of atomized and individualized society which alienated people from politics and declared social justice and solidarity as anachronistic discourses which finally created unequal society where rich and poor class live in different and distant realities. This article is an attempt of critical evaluation of post-soviet transitions, particularly of those trends and paradigms and controversies linked with this process Keywords: Post-soviet; Transformation; Trends; Neoliberalism; Social Change; Capitalism; Society; Social Darwinism; Class; State

In Search for the Post-Cold War Modus Vivendi in Post-Soviet Eastern Europe2019 •
The end of the 20th century was marked by a rather unexpected opening as the long-enduring Cold War came to the end and the Soviet Union collapsed, allowing fifteen new republics to appear on the political scene. Beyond the optimistic expectations of democratization and the expansion of free-market capitalism through the newly independent republics, the collapse of the Soviet Union created serious challenges for the international community in terms of international law, politics, economy, and security. One problematic challenge, which remains an open issue today, is the painful process of disintegration of the multi-ethnic Soviet federal state. By evaluating the current state of affairs of the non-NATO member, Kremlin disloyal post-Soviet states located on the western frontier of the Russian Federation, we can see that they have become a "bone of contention" between the West and Russia. By presenting brand new evidence from the Gorbachev period, once top-secret meetings of the CPSU Politburo and other Soviet governmental institutions, this article critically evaluates issues such as Gorbachev's grand compromises in Central and Eastern Europe and the Russian problem in Ukraine and probable risks of its further aggravation, and tries to draw recommendations for solving current territorial problems in the region.
