All of these three mentioned countries were former Soviet States. In the Soviet Union, there was a huge push towards integrating the different peoples and republics under the Russian banner. Therefore, a lot was invested in teaching the people how to read and write Russian. After independence, these countries used the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets to write their own distinct languages. During the 20th century, no Muslim country in the Arab World or in South Asia pushed for a similar high degree of literacy as the Soviets did.
