I don't understand fully your question. I assume your talking about when it collapsed in 1991. The Soviet Union was comprised of about 15 republics hence the name USSR (Union Of The Soviet Socialist Republics) around 10 of them declared they wanted independence during the collapse and they were granted it, they all became independent countries for example Ukraine, Belorussia, Lithuania, etc...only 5 republics stayed in the USSR until it became the Russian Federation.

A divided Germany was a weak Germany and a weak Germany couldn't invade them for a third time in that century.

___

The assumption in the question is false. In fact the Soviet Union favoured a united, but neutral and demilitarized Germany. Stalin made a proposal along these lines in 1952, but the West rejected it as it wanted to rearm West Germany and incorporate it in NATO.

After WW II Germany was divided into East and West Germany because it had been occupied by all of the allied powers, including the USSR, and the USSR turned the part of Germany that it occupied into a Soviet satellite state. In comparison, Japan was occupied only by the US, and therefore there was no reason for it to be divided.
