The Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. In its final state, the Soviet Union consisted of the following republics:
-Russian SFSR
-Ukrainian SSR
-Byelorussian SSR
-Uzbek SSR
-Kazakh SSR
-Georgian SSR
-Azerbaijan SSR
-Lithuanian SSR
-Moldavian SSR
-Latvian SSR
-Kyrgyz SSR
-Tajik SSR
-Armenian SSR
-Turkmen SSR
-Estonian SSR
The successor states are a collection of 15 countries commonly dubbed, 'the former Soviet Union'.
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.
Current members:
-Russia (1991)
-Belarus (1991)
-Ukraine (1991)
-Moldova (1991)
-Kazakhstan (1991)
-Azerbaijan (1991)
-Armenia (1991)
-Kyrgyzstan (1991)
-Uzbekistan (1991)
-Tajikistan (1991)
-Georgia (1993; in Feb 2006, withdrew from the Council of Defense Ministers)
Former members/Associate members:
-Turkmenistan (1991; withdrew 2005, associate member since then)
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.

After the central government control diminish, the different cultures went back to what they always were. lots of the republics were not together because they wanted in the beginning, but because someone joined them.
