NIS - Newly Independent States
The Newly Independant States, NIS - “Nouveaux Etats Indépendants” in french…
The USSR, Union of Socialist Soviet Republics used to designate the so called federated republics (to Russia) which belonged to a common regime, Moscow’s regime. Hungary like others was officially a free country with its own government that would take decisions freely, but as a communist “brother state”, it had a close collaboration with USSR. Hungary and the other communist “brother states” weren’t in the USSR but in the soviet bloc.
The Newly Independent States therefore include the following countries :
Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kirghizstan.
The appellation of “Newly Independent State” appeared, of course after the Berlin wall collapse, but more precisely once the “rose”, the “orange” and the “tulip” revolutions were done in Georgia, Ukraine and Kirghizstan (in 2003, 2004, and 2005).
