The former Soviet Union was ideologically atheist, all religious institutions were dissolved during the tenure of Vladimir Illych (Lenin) in the early days after the revolution.

However, if the question relates to which of the Soviet states had Islamic histories and now have large populations reverting to Islam, the following former Soviet Republics would be the ones:

Turkmenistan - speaking a Turkic language and mostly Sunni Islam

Kirgyzstan - majority atheist but has Moslems - mostly Sunni Islam

Tajikistan - have a language close to Persian, but the population is mainly Sunni Moslems

Uzbekistan - speaking a Farsi language close to the Persian of Iran, mostly Shi'ite

Khazakstan - only partly, but was Islamic in the middle ages, now has a very mixed population with a huge Russian minority, - so both Russian Orthodox Christian, as well as followers of Islam and a substantial atheist population too

Azerbeijan (Speaking a Turkic language very close to that of modern Turkey. mostly Sunni Islam.

All of the above is actually available within Wikipedia.com
