The answer you want is 1991, but it's not accurate to say the Soviet Union was "renamed" Russia. The Soviet Union was, in fact, a union of fifteen separate republics. Russia was one of these republics and by far the largest. When the Soviet Union collapsed, each of the Soviet republics, including Russia, became independent countries.
15+15+15+15=60
