The Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991, and the successor states are a collection of 15 countries commonly dubbed, 'the former Soviet Union'.[2] Eleven of these states are aligned through a loose confederation known as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Turkmenistan, originally a full member of the CIS, is now an associate member. The three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) did not join this Commonwealth; instead, they joined both the European Union and the NATO alliance in 2004. Russia and Belarus also belong to the Union of Russia and Belarus.

Territory has been changing hands in Eastern Europe for a long time. To which war are you referring? After the Communists fell in the Soviet Union, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Byelorussia and the Ukraine broke off and declared independence. Poland, Czechoslovakia , Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria broke away from Russian domination, although they still have normal relations with Russia. In Asia Uzbekistan and Kazakhastan also broke off.

USSR (not Russia and if you'll call all its former inhabitants Russian you are likely to offend many people) consisted from 4 republics after WWI, before WWII there were 6, because one republic was split in three, 16 after WWII, one of them later became part of Russian federative republic, that itself had (and still has) ''republic'' as one of its adminstrative units, so there were 15 at the time when it collapsed
So:
1. after WWI: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Transcaucasia
2. before WWII: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan
3. after WWII: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Karelo-Finnish republic
4. before collapse: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.
