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.
Lenin controlled Russia, which soon after changed its name to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which in 1922 became the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR after it annexed the independent republics of the Ukraine, Georgia and Transcaucasia.
