Özet: The disintegration of the Soviet Union, which covered the territory from the Pacific to the Carpathian Mountains, from the North Pole to the frontiers of Afghanistan and had the largest borders in the world, became one of the most important events in the world in the late twentieth century. The Turkish Republics struggled to survive under Soviet pressure for 70 years until its independence in 1991. During these years, the Soviets left deep traces on the Turkish people. The Turkish Republics (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan), which gained their independence in 1991, were subjected to political, cultural and social changes during the 70 years of Soviet period. Although the Turkish republics mentioned today are independent, some of their habits from the Soviet era still continue to influence in many areas, although not as much as before. These effects are evident even today. However, even in these republics, these issues have not been emphasized and are not. One of the main reasons for this is that the dignity of the newly independent Turkish peoples during the Soviet period was damaged and they did not want to express them. We clearly see the Soviet influence on the religion, language, social life and culture of the Turkish peoples living under Russian rule for many years. Besides the negative effects of the Soviet period on the Turkish people, it had positive effects in important fields such as art, sports, and agriculture. Immediately after their independence, these new Turkish Republics underwent serious changes, particularly in the spheres of social structure, language and culture, which had the effect of the last 70 years. Although the relations between the new Russian Federation and the Turkish republics continued in the post-Soviet period, this relationship took on a new dimension. In this study, the positive and negative effects of the Soviets in the Turkish Republics and the changes made after independence were discussed.
