In this video, we explore the rich cultural mosaic of the USSR, from the Slavic majority and Turkic peoples to the many ethnic groups of the Caucasus, Siberia, and Central Asia. We also highlight lesser-known communities and examine how historical, geographic, and political forces shaped language distribution across the region.
