No! The Soviet Union doesnt exist anymore.
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.
USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)
Russia is most closely associated with the Soviet Union because it was the largest , most powerful and most influential of all the republics that made up the Soviet Union. It was Russia that created the Soviet Union when Vladimir Lenin had Russia join with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to create the Soviet Union in December 1922.

The "Soviet Union" did not just change its name to Russia. The Soviet Union had been a union of several different republics. It had first been formed by the union of four republics, Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasus Federation. Others were later added. In 1991, the Soviet Union broke apart into 15 separate countries, one of them being Russia. Russia then took back its old name.
The proper name was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics- or USSR. While some people used the name Russia, Russia was one of the Republics.
Russia was known as the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1991. The Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991 with the signing of the Belavezha Accord.

Soviet Union
No. Ukraine was one part of the Soviet Union, as was Russia. When the Soviet Union split up all of the countries in it separated into individual countries. So Russia and Ukraine are two separate countries.
