Who are the Members of CIS?
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a regional organization formed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. It promotes cooperation in political, economic, environmental, humanitarian, and military affairs among former Soviet republics.
🌍 Current CIS Member States
As of 2025, the CIS includes 9 full member countries:
🧭 Other Affiliations
Turkmenistan: Associate Member — participates selectively in CIS activities
Mongolia: Observer State
Ukraine: Former Associate — withdrew following the 2014 Crimea crisis
Georgia: Former Member — exited in 2009 after the Russo-Georgian war
The CIS was designed as a loose alliance to maintain ties among former Soviet states, but its influence varies widely across members. If you're curious about how CIS compares to other regional blocs like the SCO or the Eurasian Economic Union, I can break that down too.
