The beginning was when the Communists won the Russian Revolution witch started in 1905 and ended in 1917. The Czar and his family were shot, the flag of the Czars Russia changed to the Soviet Hammer and Sickle, and Vladimir Lenin became the leader of the Soviet Union until they could organize a council to govern the country (this obviously failed, and if it hadn't, the USSR may have been more successful) The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 is when the last 2 satellite states, Ukraine and Belarus, broke off from the Soviet Union (the start of it is when the satellites started breaking off in the 80's, as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall) and in December 1991 Gorbachev, the last leader of the USSR, resigned and the Soviet flag changed into the tricolor if the Russian Federation.
