The USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
The USSR didn't make any invasions in 1979, but on New Year's Day 1980 they invaded Afghanistan. This was to shore up the Marxist Government that was then in power in Kabul, which was under threat from Mujahadeen Islamic rebels who had been inspired by the Iranian Revolution the previous year to seek the establishment of an Islamic state.
had the Americans not helped the mujahadeen, the Russians might have won and perhaps established peace unlike the consequences of American involvement then and now
You are referring to Afghanistan, which they invaded on the 24th of December 1979 and remained there until the 15th of February 1989.

Yes. Before the Soviet Union collapsed it was the largest Eastern European nation not a part of the Soviet Union. However after the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine became the largest Eastern European nation (excluding Russia), and the largest European nation wholly in Europe.
The Soviet Union was the nation called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the USSR) that had consisted of about 15 separate nation states such as Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Belorussia, Ukraine and others. It was a single nation. The Soviet bloc was a group of nations who allied themselves with the Soviet Union because their political nature was similar to that of the Soviet Union. Such nations were Bulgaria, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and others. It was not a single nation but a group of individual nations.
