The year of 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – one of the new states which played an important role in the world history of the XX century. In this regard, the history of the creation and development of states, which were established during the XX century, is a central topic of the conference. “New States” refers to a wide range of state entities:

  • national states created after the continental empires collapse as a result of World War I;
  • Eastern European states that entered the socialist path of development after World War II (Warsaw Pact countries);
  • Eastern European countries of the post-socialist era, created upon the “velvet revolutions”;
  • former colonial states of Latin America, Asia and Africa that gained independence in the XX century;
  • independent states created upon the USSR collapse;
  • unrecognized states;
  • interstate formations: unions, confederations, leagues, alliances, etc.
