Now and Then: 20 Years After the Soviet Collapse
In December 1991 the Soviet Union expired following a sudden illness. EurasiaNet, in this special feature, takes a look at events in Central Asia and the Caucasus since the Soviet breakup. How have those regions changed? And how have they remained the same? The centerpiece of the special feature is an exclusive interview with former Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, who reflects on what was, and what was never to be.
