Post-Soviet studies, also known as post-Soviet area studies or Former Soviet Union (FSU) studies, is a field of study within sociology and political science that emerged out of Soviet studies and Sovietology following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[1] The field encompasses a broad range of studies in the area of the former Soviet Union, including within Slavic studies[2] and Central Eurasian studies,[3] and the study of specific post-Soviet states, including: Armenianology,[4] Baltic studies, Belarusian studies, Central Asian studies, Georgian studies, Russian studies,[5] Ukrainian studies, and others.
Broader themes in post-Soviet studies include the role of postcolonial analysis,[6] and the relevance of analysis in context of the former Soviet Union as studies of the region progress into the post-Soviet era.[7]
