It did not. In 1939 the Soviet Union had a non-agression pact with Germany which led to the invasion of Poland; a British ally. Not surprisingly, the Soviet Union was seen as a possible enemy, but there was no fighting between Britain and the Soviet Union. When Germany violated the pact and invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Britain and the Soviet Union found themselves fighting on the same side against Germany, although they were far from the best of friends. After World War 2 they were adversaries again in the Cold War, but still they did not fight, at least not openly.
The Soviet Union was an assembly of Socialist states dating from the 1920s to its eventual dissolution in 1991. Although the Soviet Union and Russia are not the same place, Moscow, the Russian capital was the centre of the Soviet government with Leningrad (St. Petersburg), another Russian city, serving as in many instances the 2nd most influential city. Additionally, the Russian Revolutionaries that dissolved the Russian monarchy in 1917, led by Vladimir Illyich (Lenin), known as the Bolsheviks, would lead the eventual assembly and creation of the USSR (Soviet Union)

No, it isn't. At the time the Soviet Union was still in existence, "Russia" was one part of the Soviet Union, although by far the largest and most dominant. In December 1922, Russia, then known as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to form the Soviet Union. After that over time, the Soviet Union annexed or took under its control many other nearby republics, such as Uzbekistan, Khazakstan and others.

The Soviet Union felt it had to have at least parity in arms with the US. The US felt the same way about the Soviet Union.This led to the so called arms race.The US was and is more economically sound and stable, effectively richer.The Soviet Union spent more and more on arms, far more than it could afford, thus becoming effectively bankrupt.
