I have found information about CIS Hockey League.  I don't
remember it's official name in Russian, but in English it
is called International Hockey League (it's confusing because
a league called IHL exists also in North America).
It is a successor of Soviet League.  Unbalanced schedule
is used because teams couldn't afford high travel costs any more.
I haven't seen newer standings anywhere but I decided to post
these because I have read queries about CIS Hockey League.
They probably haven't played many more games before Christmas
break.
