ABSTRACT
The disintegration of the bipolar system around 1990 changed the term ‘Eurasia’ from an historical concept into a significant category of international relations.1
The sudden collapse of the Soviet Union and the newly emerged pattern of international and regional powers remade Eurasia’s identity, removing the Iron Curtain that cut Eurasian countries off from the outside world. Cold War ideological borders, even where they still exist, are now highly diluted.
