dc.description.abstract | The geopolitical implications after the collapse of the USSR in 1991 presented
unique and difficult circumstances for each of the fifteen post-Soviet republics. Many of
which experienced severe economic consequences, social crises, and national insecurity,
with a direct result of the USSR dissolution causing the emergence of tumultuous affairs
among neighboring countries in the post-Soviet sphere. Many post-Soviet republics today
have disavowed the Russian government, denounced socialism under the USSR, and
curtailed positive relations with Russia. One country in particular that contrasts from this
norm is Armenia, which has strengthened economic and military cooperation with
Russia. In addition, its citizens have the highest approval rating of the USSR compared to
citizens of other post-Soviet republics. The aim of this thesis is to understand why
Armenia’s citizens hold the USSR in high regard, and why there is a long-lasting positive
impression about the socialist system. This thesis will also explore ties between Armenia
and Russia, and seek to understand why this relationship has been so strong over a span
of centuries. | |
