Answer to Question 2

T
Russia's economic, political, and cultural dominance in the former Soviet Union has resulted, for example, in the use of the Russian language from the Baltics (Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia) and the Ukraine, to the Asian republics of the former federation, such as Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.
