Evaluate the developments in one central or eastern European country, excluding Russia, following the collapse of Soviet control.

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the post-Soviet developments in their chosen central or eastern European example country. Relevant examples could include former satellite states as well as former Soviet republics that gained independence after 1991. Areas to consider may include internal political developments, the economy and social change. Political changes could include constitutional changes, the extent to which politics was stable and the ways in which democracy was established. In terms of economics, there may be a focus based on economic activity (for example if the country became monetarist or if its standards of living changed), the extent of stability/instability, or even economic differentials in society. Social developments may include freedom of religion, a more westernized society or the re-emergence of national traditions. There may also be discussion of negative social effects, for example reduced welfare and educational provision.
