Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The years long russian rule has caused cultural problems(the alphabet, language and so on) and newly formed Central Asian states after the fall of the Soviet Union were weak. Turkmenistan for example is mostly ruled by one family who took advantage of the weak government. They are democratic on paper but many parts of the media are suppressed. Chatting apps like WhatsAp are inaccessible to keep the people uninformed. You might also look up the 130 year border conflict between Tajikistan and China. So my answer would be A.
