What are some problems that developed in Eurasian Republics as a result of the fall of Communism in the Soviet Union?

Some of the problems that developed in Eurasian Republics as a result of the fall of Communism in the Soviet Union are as follows: Political tension, economic structure and factories and transportation needed to be modernized. Political tension became one of the problems in Eurasian Republics after the collapse of communism because it created an increase in nationalism within different kinds of groups – this in turn led to discrimination between groups and fueled an outpouring conflict in political democratization. Economic structure became one of the problems in Eurasian Republics because the conclusion of communism in the Soviet Union disrupted inter-republic economic connections.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Eurasian countries dropped after the fall of communism – an example of this is Russia with 100 GDP in 1991 and 63.1 in 1996. Factories and transportation were also needed to be modernized because the fall of communism marked the transition Boris Yeltsin wanted to implement. This means that privatization would begin and factories and transportation which were once controlled by the state will be purchased. This move made prices go up, devalue savings and salaries, and costs of transportation and production of goods really expensive.
