Location It was bordered by Afghanistan, China, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Hungary, Iran, Mongolia, North Korea, Norway, Poland, Romania, and Turkey.

What political boundary change happened? In 1991, the Soviet Union broke into many independent countries. The new countries were Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

The different republics in the Soviet Union also wanted independence. In 1991, the communist Soviet Union ended and the new countries became democracies.

Why did the political boundary change happen? The political boundary change happened because of a change in government.
