1991–1996 flag
Before the flag was adopted, a provisional flag just showing the letters "C.I.S." on a white background was used, e.g. at sporting events where a Commonwealth team replaced the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union had qualified for but never came to before it was dissolved.
Description
The design symbolizes the desire for equal partnership, unity, peace and stability.
