The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (in Russian: Содружество Независимых Государств (СНГ) - Sodruzhestvo Nezavisimykh Gosudarstv) is the international organization, or alliance, consisting of 11 former Soviet Republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Turkmenistan discontinued permanent membership as of August 26, 2005 and is now an associate member.
The creation of CIS signalled the dissolution of the Soviet Union and, according to leaders of Russia, its purpose was to "allow a civilized divorce" between the Soviet Republics. However, many observers perceive the CIS as a geopolitical tool, allowing Russia to maintain its influence over the formerly Soviet republics. Since its formation, the member-states of CIS have signed a large number of documents concerning integration and cooperation on matters of economics, defense and foreign policy.
The CIS is not a confederation. Two of the Post-Soviet states in 1997 formed the Union of Russia and Belarus, confederal now, with the intention of becoming federal (like the USSR) at some future date.

It is the Community of Independent States, consisting of many of the nations of the former Soviet Union. It was an attempt in 1991 to preserve some of the standing of Russia as first among equals. The link below has the nations and some information that may be helpful in sorting out some of the subtleties and implications.

Commonwealth of Independent States. Although really, Russia is the most dominant state. Just ask that ex-spy who was poisoned to death in London.
