| Abstract: | While the collapse of the Soviet Union and Gosplan dissolved the institutional mechanisms which coordinated economic activities between republics, this collapse by itself did not eliminate the existing web of economic dependencies on the previous "centre", i.e., Moscow. Nowhere has the issue of economic dependence on Russia been so clear as in the area of gas, oil and other energy resources. Thus energy sources and their transport may to a large extent hold the key to the longer-term ability of the new, post-Soviet states to achieve economic independence. |
