No, it collapsed.
The post-Soviet states, also commonly known as the Former Soviet Union (FSU) or former Soviet republics, are the 15 independent nations that split off from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in its breakup in December 1991. They were also referred to as the Newly Independent States (NIS), not withstanding that the Baltic states consider themselves to have resumed their pre-World War II sovereignty upon their separation from the Soviet Union.
Post-Soviet states in English alphabetical order: 1. Armenia; 2. Azerbaijan; 3. Belarus; 4. Estonia;

∙ 11y agoThe Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was once a country, with Russia at it's core, but has since broken into various countries. Many of the countries that made up the USSR were subjugated by Stalin after World War II and left the confederation once Russia was no longer strong enough to maintain control of the Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Lithiuania, etc. Several of these countries now have sizable Russian minorities with which to contend.
Not quite accurate. The USSR was never one country. It was what the name says, a union of socialist (communist) states which were all dominated by Russia and forced into a cobble together false union.

∙ 15y agoNo - the USSR was the collection of former Soviet states that included Russia, Lithuania, Georgia (the country, not the US state), and so on. Don't confuse the USSR with Russia - even though Russia was the largest component, by far, of the USSR.

The USSR as never Communist. It was state capitalist. Russia now is primarily private capitalist. Communism means the abolition of the wages system

The USSR was never Socialist, it was state capitalist. Socialism means the abolition of the wages system and establishment of a classless society.

What made Hitler attack the USSR in 1941?
Hitler wanted more living space and so he invaded the USSR. Another reason why Hitler invaded the USSR was that Hitler hated communism and the USSR was a communist country. Germany was seeking to obtain by force what it had already begun by apparent cooperation. On its own, it did not have the resources to run its war industries. Although Germany and the USSR had signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop nonaggression pact, neither side actually trusted the other. After dividing Poland and the Baltic States between them, the two sides competed for European territories that added to their resources. But the USSR still had considerable military forces in Manchuria where they had fought with Japan (1932-1939), only concluding peace in April, 1941. Full Soviet mobilization had still not begun when Germany attacked on June 22, 1941.
