The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a collective defence organization amongst former Soviet republics following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The CTSO was spawned from the Commonwealth of Independent States. It's basically the new Warsaw Pact except made up of former Soviet republics. The CSTO is Russia's largest military alliance.
Current members include Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. Even though not a former Soviet republic, Serbia became an observer member in 2013.
Former members include Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Uzbekistan.
Here's a short video I found out on YouTube about the CSTO.
