Historically, most of Turkestan was controlled by the Russian Empire and its successor, the Soviet Union. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the various Turkic republics became independent. Now the largest foreign occupier of Turkestan is the People's Republic of China, which still controls East Turkestan (called Xinjiang by the PRC government).
