The position of the former Soviet Union after the Second World War was considerably weakened,
because-
I.
Ideological change of East Europe which is manifest in the overthrowing of communist regimes one
after the other
II.
Unification of both Germanies brightening the prospects of the rise of a super state in
Europe
III.
Declaration of several republics of the Soviet Union as sovereign states
IV.
Other internal problems (economic etc.)the challenging position of the U.S.A. reduced the importance
as well as chances of the former Soviet Union
for world domination
Although Russia still controls the Heartland, she has lost her political grip over East Europe. Thus, the
validity of even the first line of the theory is no more there.
