As an independent country, since 1994.

Russian athletes competed under the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1956 Winter Games until the 1988 Winter Games. They competed as members of the Unified Team at the 1992 Winter Games. The Unified Team was comprised of former members of the USSR except for the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Russia first competed under the Russian flag in 1994.
