The Soviet Union was an assembly of Socialist states dating from the 1920s to its eventual dissolution in 1991. Although the Soviet Union and Russia are not the same place, Moscow, the Russian capital was the centre of the Soviet government with Leningrad (St. Petersburg), another Russian city, serving as in many instances the 2nd most influential city. Additionally, the Russian Revolutionaries that dissolved the Russian monarchy in 1917, led by Vladimir Illyich (Lenin), known as the Bolsheviks, would lead the eventual assembly and creation of the USSR (Soviet Union)

No, it isn't. At the time the Soviet Union was still in existence, "Russia" was one part of the Soviet Union, although by far the largest and most dominant. In December 1922, Russia, then known as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to form the Soviet Union. After that over time, the Soviet Union annexed or took under its control many other nearby republics, such as Uzbekistan, Khazakstan and others.

No. The Soviet Union was a country which existed from 1922 to 1991. Russia was a part of the Soviet Union when it existed, much like how Texas is part of the United States. Since Russia was easily the biggest part, people sometimes referred to the whole Soviet Union as "Russia", although that's not really accurate. Now that the Soviet Union is gone, Russia is its own country.

They are not the same thing, although Russia was one of Soviet Union's republics among 15 others in a time until the end of the Cold War (1947-1991) in 1991.

During what years were Russia and the Soviet Union the same?

This may be nit-picking, but it probably would not be for natives of the several former Soviet Socialist Republics. Russia and the Soviet Union were actually never "the same". It's a little like asking 'During what years were England and Great Britain the same?' The term 'Russia' was often used as a commonly understood but not entirely accurate way of refering to the Soviet Union, in much the same way that the term 'America' is widely but inaccurately used to refer to the US. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics existed from about 1918 until 1991. See link for more details.
