Common Expressions: CIS

Expressions	Definition
CIS election observation missions	On October 2002, the Commonwealth of Independent States adopted at a heads of states meeting, the Convention on the Standards of Democratic Elections, Electoral Rights, and Freedoms in the Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States. This formed the CIS Election Monitoring Organization, which has since then been sending election observers to countries belonging to the CIS. (references)

Names in Russian Empire, Soviet Union and CIS countries	The patronymic of a person is based on the first name of his or her father and is written in all documents. It always succeeds the first name. A suffix (meaning either "son of" or "daughter of") is added to the father's given name—males generally use -ович -ovich, while females generally use -овна -ovna. If the suffix is being appended to a name ending in a soft consonant, the initial o becomes a ye (-евич -yevich and -евна -yevna). Suffix pronunciation varies with the ending of the name and the exact language. (references)
Reservoirs and dams in Russia and CIS	Industrialization reached Russia later than Western Europe and North America, and one of the few large scale dams dating from the Tsarist era is on the Volkhov near St Petersburg (opened 1926). However with Lenin's declaration Communism is Soviet Power Plus the Electrification of the Whole Country (22 December 1920), dam building began in earnest, to a more functional design. One of the first was the Dneprovsk dam in on the Dnieper in Ukraine completed in 1932 using US generators. Important for rendering the Dnieper navigable, it was destroyed by the retreating Soviet army in 1941 but rebuilt along with many new dams in the post-war period. The Dnieper now has six major hydroelectric dams and the larger Volga river has nine, each up to 50m high with shipping locks and generating up to 3000MW. (references)
