First there was Russia, then there was the Soviet Union, now there's Russia again. The Soviet Union is no more. Russia is the name of the country now, as it was before.

The Soviet Union, or more formally the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or USSR, was composed of 15 different republics, of which Russia was the most powerful. Now it has broken up into 15 independent nations.
