The 'Flags of the Soviet Socialist Republics' all featured a predominantly red flag with the hammer and sickle, both of which symbolised communism, and were quite similar to the flag of the Soviet Union. Their final versions prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 looked like this:

Flag of Russian SFSR	Flag of Ukrainian SSR	Flag of Byelorussian SSR
Flag of Uzbek SSR	Flag of Kazakh SSR	Flag of Georgian SSR
Flag of Azerbaijan SSR	Flag of Lithuanian SSR	Flag of Moldavian SSR
Flag of Latvian SSR	Flag of Kyrgyz SSR	Flag of Tajik SSR
Flag of Armenian SSR	Flag of Turkmen SSR	Flag of Estonian SSR

The official flags of the Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republics (ASSR) were seldom used, and were simply the flag of the republic to which the ASSR belonged defaced with the ASSR name in its own language(s) and the official language of the SSR.
Today, the only former Soviet Union territories that use modified versions of their original Soviet flag are the unrecognized republic of Transnistria (former region of Moldavian SSR) and Belarus (since 1995).
