Moldova was under Greater Romania (ROM) 1918.04.09 - 1940.08.02. Lithuania (Vilnius) was occupied by Poland (POL) 1919.08.11 - 1920.07.14 (not shown in the table). Following the Russian revolution, seven states (ARM, AZE, BLR, EST, GEO, LAT, LTU) announced independence. Of these, ARM, AZE, BLR and GEO became part of Soviet Union (URS) in 1922 (the code URS should not be used before 1922). EST, LAT and LTU went into URS in 1940. Ukraine is too complicated, the "Western Ukraine" including Lviv came under URS (not in 1922 but) in 1939 (until 1941) and 1944. Before 1918, RUE has been invented for the tsarist Russian Empire, and AUH for the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austria-Hungary).
