Ethnic conflicts in the Soviet Union information


There are many different ethnic groups present in Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union today. This diversity has been the source or instigator of conflict for centuries, and remains a major part of Russian political life today. While the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation were each made up of a majority of ethnic Russians, the minority groups have always been present to fight for their own languages, cultures, and religions.[1] There are many different types of ethnic conflict, and the vast majority can only be understood with the help of a historical context.
