Note: NOTE: [en] From July 1990 to December 1991 many demands for membership in the USSR from previously dependent territories had not received a response and are therefore to be considered as « unrecognized ». They are however left this way because they prefigure the format of the Russian federation. [fr] De juillet 1990 à décembre 1991 de nombreuses demandes d´adhésion à l´URSS de la part de territoires auparavant dépendants n´avaient pas reçu de réponse et sont donc à considérer comme « non-reconnues ». Elles sont toutefois laissées de cette manière car elles préfigurent le format de la fédération russe.
