Are all the formerly Soviet controlled areas become independent nations?

Not all formerly Soviet-controlled areas have become independent nations. While many republics that were part of the Soviet Union, such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, gained independence after its dissolution in 1991, some territories remain under the control of other nations or are subjects of ongoing disputes. Additionally, regions like Transnistria in Moldova and Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia have declared independence but are not widely recognized as sovereign states.
