In which country is the Crimean Peninsula?
The Russians and the Turks fought over the Crimea during the 19th century. It eventually became part of the Russian Empire, and then the Soviet Union. Within the Soviet Union, the peninsula was initially part of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (Russia), but was transferred to Ukraine during the 1950s. Recent events (early 2014) have resulted in Russia asserting control again over the Crimean Peninsula, although Ukraine and most of the rest of the world refuse formal recognition of that. So Russia says that the Crimean Peninsula is in Russia and the rest of the world says it is in Ukraine. Only the passage of time will tell which is true for the future.

Why did the Soviets take over Ukraine?
The word "Soviets" disappeared together with the Soviet Union (then also called the USSR) in the Nineties. We now talk about Russia and Russians. The Russians did not take over Ukraine; they took over one part of it, called the Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea that had been part of Russia until a few decades ago. Russia had a simple reason for annexing (basically: taking back) the Crimea: Russia's Black Sea fleet is stationed there, and Putin did not want to risk ever being cut off from his own fleet. And that became a serious risk as the Ukrainians became ever more anti-Russian. In Ukraine itself Russia has not taken over any areas. It just 'supports' the Russian majority living in the east of it who want autonomy. It is a well-known Russian tactic also applied in the case in the case of the (formerly Russian) Republic of Georgia. It serves to weaken and destabilize countries in Russia's back yard if they threaten to become too much pro-Western.

What is the USSR now called?
USSR stood for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. There were 14 countries in the USSR. Russia was only one of them, but by far the largest and most influential. The countries returned to their original names, which they had before the USSR was formed. Russia is now The Russian Federation, since it is made up of more than just Russia. Ukraine is now Ukraine, etc. Each of the countries had a name similar to this: The Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Now is is simply Ukraine. Or the Republic of Ukraine.
