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.
From about 1918/1921 until 1991.

No. The Soviet Union is now many independent countries, including Russia, which now has a President.
For centuries, Russia had been either an independent country or an empire, from which other nations sought independence from time to time. In 1922, the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR or Soviet Union) was formed in place of the former Russian empire. For the next 70 years, Russia existed as the largest part of the Soviet Union until declaring its independence in 1990, effectively signaling the end of the USSR.
This question is too broad, the Soviet Union spanned for almost 70 years. I will be happy to answer a more specific question.
50 years old. Goldman was born in 1869 and arrived in Soviet Russia (which was not yet the USSR) in January 1920.
