The Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation
The Soviet Union was formally dissolved in 1991, leaving 15 'new' states and countries, including Russia. As a result of the 1917 Revolution, Russia became the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic which joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to create the Soviet Union.
Chechnya was a part of the Soviet Union as an autonomous region within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Chechnya declared independence and went through two devastating wars with Russia before being reintegrated as a subject of the Russian Federation.
The last President of the Soviet Union was Michail Gorbachev. The first President of the Russian Federation which is successor of the SU was Boris Eltsin.
blocked the August Coup
Current (as of the end of 1991) world maps have the Russian Federation labeled as Russia. Russia was one of 15 constituent republics (now 15 independent nations) making up the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1922 to 1991. The Russian Federation during this time was the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Till the year 1991 it was called The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
It's: "Russia" or "Russian Federation"If you are referring to the sovjet republic then it is the sovjet republic and not russia.
No, it is called the Russian Federation. It had been referred to as the Soviet Union, or USSR, but never the "US."
