    Annotation In 1991, the world's largest country of the twentieth century – the Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics (USSR) collapsed, suffering the same fate of many empires recorded in the history of mankind. Formed in 1922, the unified country was built on common political, economic, social, and cultural principles, placing education at the forefront. As a result of maximum unification, almost identical education system with insignificant national characteristics was introduced in 15 republics. In teacher education, this was reflected in common principles and the content of teacher training programs. The collapse of the USSR, which resulted in the creation of 15 independent countries, marked a new stage in the history of teacher education in the postSoviet space. Over the past 30 years several countries, chiefly Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Moldova, have gone through drastic reforms that severely changed their educational landscapes. In contrast, Central Asian countries, Ukraine, and Belarus have preserved some features of the Soviet model, demonstrating the post-Soviet identity in teacher education. This chapter describes the experience of five countries – Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, and Ukraine – focusing on different paths of their development as part of the Soviet Union and the individuality in elaborating new models of teacher training in the period from 1991 to 2020. The study aims to analyze the development of Soviet identity in teacher education and the reasons for preserving some of its characteristics amid reforms in a number of post-Soviet independent countries over the last three decades. In light of this, teacher education is considered as a major geopolitical resource in the Eurasian space, which enhances cooperation within an international organization – the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) consisting of several post-Soviet countries. The current trend supporting this point is the increased export of Russian educational services to a number of Central Asian countries and Belarus.
