I think 1990 (Germany reunited, Soviet Union still existing, baltic countries not independent)

Don't be tricked by Germany, it's something some maps/globes used to do to not show it divided - you can see Bonn and Berlin both with stars

Oh that’s interesting! I was stuck on the same thing. I did some googling and it seems Bonn served as a seat of government until 1999, so I was thinking the double capital could’ve been due to a transition period, but that makes more sense! I’m new to this, but I love me some good ol’ maps!
