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.
Russia was not divided into separate republics when the Soviet Union was first formed. The Soviet Union was formed when Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasian Federation (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) banded together to form the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union then added more and more republics. In 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 separate republics.

Russia was never broken into states. You may be asking when the Soviet Union (familiarly referred to as "Russia") broke up into 15 independent republics. The breakup started in the spring of 1990 and competed by fall of 1991.
None. The USSR consisted of 15 Republics including Russia. At the breakup of the USSR, each of the Republics eventually became an independent country - * Armenia * Azerbaijan * Belorussia * Estonia * Georgia (Gruziya) * Kazakhstan * Kirghizstan * Latvia * Lithuania * Moldavia * Russia * Tadzhikistan * Turkmenistan * Ukraine * Uzbekistan Each of the former Soviet Republics is now self-determining although Russia still acts as the diplomatic and consular representative for several of the Central Asian countries.
At the time of its creation in 1922, the Soviet Union was a single unit that included Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, along with the Transcaucasian Republics, which included Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Additional changes were made to the Soviet Union group throughout the year, until the final group was announced in 1956. By then, 15 countries had become part of the Soviet Union: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Russia was the most powerful of all the republics, and the one maintaining control over the territory and the main political decisions.
