It's divided into the Soviet Republics I believe.

There's also Eastern Germany so the map cannot be from any later than 1990.

    I'd say that's exactly when this map was made. Before the official reuninification but when the USSR was already falling apart, with these countries quickly becoming separate.

    It's not a very good map no matter the exact time period

    the countries were always separate within the union, it was a federation. they had their own flags and languages.

    Not really, they had separate flags but in reality they were completely subordinate to the central government. Local languages such as Ukrainian and Lithuanian were repressed.

    Also they were named "Lituanian SSR" or "Ukrainian SSR" unlike on the map.
