USSR = 1 team
CIS = ?15 teams
After the fall, Russia was probably in best position to support a team, other republics were not in such a position.A good % who migrated were lifters who were established and on the downside of their peak i.e. Sarkissian.

"why do you think after the fall of communism so many lifters migrated to other countries? Because they could offer better monatary rewards. "
