Post-Communism
Post-Communism refers to the political and economic changes that occurred in countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union or had communist governments after the fall of communism in the late 20th century. This period, beginning in the early 1990s, involved transitioning from state-controlled economies to market-oriented systems, along with the establishment of democratic governance.
During this time, many nations faced challenges such as economic instability, social inequality, and political corruption. Countries like Poland, Hungary, and Czech Republic adopted reforms to integrate into the global economy and join organizations like the European Union, while others struggled with the legacy of their communist past.
