In which year did the USSR fall in the Metal Gear timeline?

In which year did the USSR fall in the Metal Gear timeline?

So basically, MG2 takes place in Zanzibar Land in 1999. According to the wiki, the country was part of USSR but became independent in 1997. But in our reality, USSR fell in 1991, so I'm a bit lost in this spaghetti timeline. Or maybe Zanzibar was a part of a central Asia country, like Tadjikistan or Turkmenistan? Or have they retconed the lore of MG2 in the Solid saga? I'm a bit lost ngl. And yes, I know it's not Kojima's fault because MG2 was released in 1990, only one year before the fall
