Sure it's not the hammer & sickle, but I doubt many Islamic countries would enjoy re-familiarizing themselves with a state that crushed the sovereignty of Afghanistan.
I doubt zeroslave's wish for a reconstituted USSR was so literal that it requires all the 'stans rejoining.
EDIT: Plus, it's not like they had much of a choice about "familiarizing" themselves with Russia the first time around, ha ha ha!
