Talking about europe and taking apart the idea of the soviet union and what it was before the revolution - 1989.

When the soviet union was created the way they divided their republics and territories were not precisely the same arbitrary border. In order for the soviet union to become an imagined community is the linguistic hege- mony. All the other languages were obliterated and russian was dominate. The result of the fall of the berlin wall and the soviet union caused a rethinking of what it meant to belong, to be a part of a nation.
