Commonwealth of Independent States
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Alliance of 12 of the former republics of the
Soviet Union (
Armenia,
Azerbaijan,
Belarus,
Georgia,
Kazakstan,
Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova,
Russia,
Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan,
Ukraine, and
Uzbekistan). The CIS formed in 1991. The Baltic states (
Estonia,
Latvia, and
Lithuania) did not join. In 1993 all members, except Ukraine, signed a treaty of economic union, creating a free-trade zone. Russia is the dominant power, with overall responsibility for defence and peacekeeping. It is also the main provider of oil and natural gas.
