As the USSR no longer exists as a sovereign state all countries are free from it.
All countries other than Nepal, Bhutan and former USSR fall under General Currency Area.
Moscow, USSR
The USSR did not break up and become Russia again. Thinking Russia and the USSR were the same, is a common mistake. Russia was just part of the USSR, along with many other countries. Russia was the largest of the countries that were part of the USSR. In 1991, the USSR broke up and these countries, including Russia, all became independent.
As a separate country Belarus has competed in the '96, '00, '04, and the '08 summer games. They have also competed in the '94, '98, '02 and the '06 winter games. A year after they declared independence from the ussr they competed with eleven other former ussr countries on a unified team in the '92 Summer Olympics.

After the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the subsequent creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Russians would not compete in another Olympics until 1952. Russians competed under the USSR flag between 1952-1988. Upon the fall of the Soviet Union, the first Olympics that Russia competed in as a country was the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer.
