VIEWPOINTS
The collapse of the USSR opened up the world for me, and every minute I remember and am aware that the world is open.
Peter Bares, Estonia
The collapse of the Soviet Union broke up our whole life. It’s been years since we’ve been able to see our own daughter, who lives in a neighbouring former republic.
Boris Kuzmin, engineer, Kyrgyzstan
In spite of the fact that materially I’m much better off today than 10 years ago, I still feel nostalgic for the Soviet days. I had less money then, but I slept well, not worrying about how I would provide for myself in my old age.
Zinauda Bunu, entrepreneur, Moldova
I remember as a child I really thought: “How good that I live in the USSR, the best country in the world!” And now that great country is no more. Even the economy is in tatters.
Svetlana, housewife, Ukraine
