The Soviet Union only came in to existence after the Russian Revolution of 1917. It ceased to exist when the communist system collapsed in 1989.
The year of foundation of the USSR is generally given as 1921. The Soviet Union came into existence on December 29-30 1922 when representatives of Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation agreed to and then signed the Treaty of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union was never Communist, it was an example of state capitalism. Communism is a classless stateless society based on production for use.
