Monday 18.03.2024

Summary

The fall of the Soviet Union and its communist satellites was initially seen as ushering in a new age of democracy and world peace. However, the optimism of the succeeding decades has long since dissipated as the world enters into what many refer to as the New Cold War or the New Great Game, a new world order far more unstable than its predecessor.
