In 1991, the [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] Soviet Union collapsed and was formally dissolved in December. In the aftermath, several new nations were formed, including 15 countries which had constituted the core republics of the union. As nationalistic sentiments grew, many separatists within the new nations took to the opportunity, causing chaos in regions of [[File:Cball-Abkhazia.png]] Abkhazia and [[File:Cball-SouthOssetia.png]] South Ossetia in [[File:Cball-Georgia.png]] Georgia, [[File:Cball-Artsakh.png]] Nagorno-Karabakh in [[File:Cball-Azerbaijan.png]] Azerbaijan, [[File:Cball-Transnistria.png]] Transnistria and (partially) [[File:Cball-Gagauzia.png]] Gagauzia in [[File:Cball-Moldova.png]] Moldova, [[File:Cball-Chechnya.png]] Chechnya and [[File:Cball-Dagestan.png]] Dagestan in the [[File:Cball-Russia_1991-1993.png]] Russian Federation for many years to come.

In 2014, Separatism caused a war in [[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine. It started with the annexation of [[File:Sball-Sevastopol.png]][[File:Cball-Crimea.png]] Crimea by [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia, but then spread to the eastern [[File:Cball-DonetskOblast.png]][[File:Cball-Luhansk.png]] Donbass region with the self-proclamation of the [[File:Cball-Donetsk.png]] Donetsk and [[File:Cball-Lugansk.png]] Luhansk "People's Republics". There were attempts to proclaim similar separatist entities in [[File:Cball-Kharkiv.png]][[File:Cball-KharkivOblast.png]] Kharkiv [[File:Cball-Kharkiv_OblastRU.png]] and [[File:Cball-Odesa.png]][[File:Cball-OdesaOblast.png]] Odesa [[File:Cball-OdessaPR.png]] regions, but they were unsuccessful. Despite countless evidence of Russian military fighting on the separatist side, [[File:Putin.png]] Russian officials denied any involvement in the war until a full-scale Invasion occurred in 2022 following Russian recognition of both self-proclaimed republics. As of January 2024, apart from [[File:Cball-Donetsk.png]] Donetsk and [[File:Cball-Lugansk.png]] Luhansk, parts of [[File:Cball-KhersonOblast.png]] Kherson [[File:Cball-KhersonOblast-RU.png]] and [[File:Cball-ZaporizhzhiaOblast.png]] Zaporizhzhia [[File:Cball-_ZaporozhyeOblast-RU.png]] oblasts are ''de facto'' incorporated into Russia after several referendums, all of which were internationally recognized as illegitimate. An eastern part of [[File:Cball-MykolaivOblast.png]] Mykolaiv [[File:Cball-NikolayevPR.png]] oblast, which borders Kherson, was also claimed by Russia.

In 2017 and 2018, the 'Unite the Right Rally' and 'Unite the Right Rally 2' occurred. The events were mainly organized by [[File:Whitesup.png]] [[White Nationalism|White Nationalists]] and Neo-Nazis, but importantly included [[File:Neoconfed.png]] Neo-Confederate separatists.
