First there was Russia, then there was the Soviet Union, now there's Russia again. The Soviet Union is no more. Russia is the name of the country now, as it was before.
The Soviet Union, or more formally the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or USSR, was composed of 15 different republics, of which Russia was the most powerful. Now it has broken up into 15 independent nations.

∙ 13y agoNo, it is not. Russia was one part of the Soviet Union when the USSR was first formed in 1922. The other parts were Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasus Federation. After that the new Soviet Union absorbed other republics into it over time. The "Soviet Union" is not just another name for Russia, but the names have been used interchangeably although erroneously because Russia had always dominated the Soviet Union and its various republics.
