United States and Soviet Union(Russia)
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.
