After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Karosta faced significant economic and social challenges. The withdrawal of the Soviet military left the city with a large population of unemployed workers and a depleted economy. Many buildings and infrastructure were left abandoned and fell into disrepair. However, in recent years, Karosta has seen a revival as a tourist destination due to its unique military history and well-preserved Soviet-era architecture. The city has also attracted artists and entrepreneurs who are drawn to its bohemian atmosphere and affordable living. As a result, Karosta is now a vibrant and multicultural city that is still grappling with its past but is also looking towards a brighter future.
