And what is the 'description' going to be if you want specifics there?

Please note I've only been to Russia once & not that up on the area/geography or the airlines.

Cheers.
The Soviet Union has nt existed in over 20 years. I can't see how that can be used in the name. The CIS certainly does exist, and IMHO covers the areas one would expect to be covered by this forum. I highly suspect that Ukraine and the Baltic states would not wish to be lumped in with Russia. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I would go with simply, "Airlines of Russia." As far as the description is concerned, how 'bout this:
"Aeroflot, S7, Transaero and other airlines based in Russia and the CIS."
