Explanation:

After the formation of Warsaw pact in which the Soviet Union and seven of its European satellites enter an agreement or a treaty, which led to Warsaw Pact, in 1955, that is based on a mutual defense organization that put the Soviets in command of the armed forces of the member states.

Aside the Soviet Union, other members states then were; Albania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria

However, starting from the expulsion of Albania in 1962, each member states grdually left the agreement or treaty, and by early 1990s, increase in non-communist governments in many eastern bloc nations, such as Poland and Czechoslovakia, throughout 1990 and 1991 led to an ultimate end of the power of the Warsaw Pact. In March 1991, the military alliance component of the pact was dissolved and in July 1991, the last meeting of the political consultative body took place.

Hence, Political independence acquired by the former soviet republics shows the political impact of the Soviet Union collapse, as each of the member states/countries, form their different alliances, as many later join European Union, and adopt democracy as form.of government, while effectively leaving communism behind.
