Post-Soviet conflicts are those conflicts which engulfed the countries of the former Soviet Union, in the time period beginning shortly before its official breakup in December 1991 and continuing until today. Some of these conflicts ended in a stalemate or without a peace treaty, and are referred to as frozen conflicts.

Famous quotes containing the words frozen and/or conflict:
“Others greater than I have already eulogized you, but none of them ever had the pleasure I had to feel the caresses of your warm, soft hands, to merit your warm embrace that was reserved only for us, to see your half-smile that always told us so much, that same smile which is no longer, frozen in the grave with you.”
—Noa Ben-Artzi Philosof (b. 1978)
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
