After the fall of the former Soviet Union and the rapid disappearance of communism in Europe, the population of the former Soviet States were extremely happy about the situation, and with the help of the West most of the countries in this region made a move to democracy. These principal Central Asian countries are Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Unfortunately, ten years later the jubilation about the democratization process in this region has gone sour, and the reality today is that most of these countries are turning into Dictatorships. Even though, the governments of these countries promised to support democratic ruled, they are now clearly embarked in non-democratic ruled.

We can conclude the passage is from a medieval period because it includes a monarch that rules or has power over other social classes (third option).
One of the characteristics that made Medieval society to be different from other societies was its social structure. In this social structure, the monarchy represented by the king, queen, or prince was the most powerful social class.
This means this class had power over others including knights, noblemen, and peasants. This characteristic is shown in the passage because Prine John is announced with trumpets and seems to be protected and respected by others including "horsemen, horsewomen, and foot-passengers."
Note: This question is incomplete because the passage it refers to is missing; here is the passage:
About the hour of ten o’clock, the whole plain was crowded with horsemen, horsewomen, and foot-passengers, hastening to the tournament; and shortly after, a grand flourish of trumpets announced Prince John and his retinue, attended by many of those knights who meant to take share in the game, as well as others who had no such intention.
