America was the captialist superpower and the USSR (Russia) was the communist superpower. The USSR also included most of what we now call east Europe (e.g. East Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Georgia, etc.)

America 'won' the cold war when Russia gave up communism in 1991 due to economic failures.

The U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), representing communism and socialism, and the U.S.A (United States of America), representing democracy and capitalism. These two countries were the "leaders", per se, of two opposing organisations: The Warsaw Pact, and NATO, respectively. This is incomplete. I highly recommend finding a better answer. I personally suggest either Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) or Google (www.google.com).
