The Space Race by Nationality

Can you name the countries that had at least one of their citizens travel to space before 1990?
If a person that was born in a country before it gained its independence, that citzenship will still count as long as the person earned the citzenship after its formation.
If the citizen gave up their citizenship before going to space, that nationality will not be considered.
Only currently existing countries are accepted.
