Russia and the Soviet union are the same thing. So is Soviet Russia and the U.S.S.R. As well the Soviet Union(U.S.S.R) was just Russia and its satellite countries put together under communist rule in Russia.
They were countries under the control of the Soviet Union. They had governments, but had little real control over what happened. Most of them were in close proximity to Russia and not able to fight off the control.
Both Russia and the Czech republic used to be parts of the soviets union. After the dis-solvent of the Soviet union 15 new countries were formed, one of which was Russia and another Czech republic. Therefore Russia and the Czech republic are not the same country.
The Soviet Union also invaded Poland around the same time. Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 from the West, and the Soviet Union invaded Poland on September 17th of the same year from the East.
Different countries in the same part of the world.
