The flag of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Russian: Флаг Содружества Независимых Государств) was adopted in 1996 and "depicts a yellow sun on a dark blue field," with one straight and eight bending poles holding the "sun." The design symbolizes the desire for equal partnership, "unity," peace and stability.
Former 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.
