    The document summarizes an article about Central Asian states breaking out of Russian influence after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. It notes that Central Asian states were greatly dependent on Russia during the Soviet era but that Russian interest in the region decreased after 1991. As a result, the Central Asian states decreased their dependency on Russia and started developing their own military, political, and economic strategies. They also increased cooperation with China. While Russia sought to maintain influence, its relations and trade with Central Asia declined, allowing the Central Asian states more independence and ability to improve their infrastructure and increase intra-regional trade.

    CENTRAL ASIA AND RUSSIAN
    RELATIONS: BREAKING OUT OF
    THE RUSSIAN ORBIT?
    Introduction
     Written by Niklas Swanstrom (who is the director of institute for security and
    development policy) in winter 2012 .
     Published by Brown journal of World Affairs, volume 19,No.1 with pages
    range of 101-113.

    Theme
    Central Asian States became less independent and were oriented towards
    formulating strategies on their own in case of military, political and economic
    aspects .These were the factors for which these countries were early
    dependent on Russia. Russian interest in Central Asian Countries was also
    decreased .Which effected these countries but they did not suffered and
    came up with more modified and improved infrastructure.
    Summary
     Central Asian states were greatly dependent on Russia until 1991.
     After disintegration of Soviet Union, Russian started ignoring these states
    and central Asian states also decreased their dependency.
     Central Asian States started getting closer to China.
     Russia aimed to prevent their relation and again strived to develop multi-
    lateral treaties with Central Asian States.
     But, Russia was in adverse condition because of decrease rate of trade
    between Russia and Central Asia.
     The decrease dependence of Central Asian States on Russia and China
    would help it to increase intra-regional trade and improved its
    infrastructure.
     Central Asia as a regional concept is extremely problematic.
    Critical Analysis
     After disintegration of Soviet Union in 1991, interest of Russia in central
    Asian states was decreased.
     Dependency of Central Asian states over Russia was reduced.
     Central Asian states were now independent and wanted to increase
    their level of dominance but faced many difficulties.
     Although Central Asian States have geographic importance and are
    rich in oil and gas resources but these states are less important for other
    countries.
     They do not need and other country for their survival and if they
    continue to progress like this they would become most prominent
    among all.
