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)
