The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922-1991) was a collection of 15 states (republics) in the regions of eastern Europe and west Central Asia. Between World War I and World War II, the new communist government of Russia consolidated control over these regions, which were ostensibly autonomous republics but controlled from the central government in Moscow under the Communist Party hierarchy. Expanding further on the already large Russian territory, the USSR stretched from the Arctic Ocean to Afghanistan and from Poland in the east to China in the west.
During and after World War II, Soviet control also extended over 11 previously independent states of eastern Europe. This included Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on the Baltic, through East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Albania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. These countries within the Soviet bloc had puppet communist governments and their economies were used to prop up the quasi-empire of the USSR. It was not until the Soviet economic setbacks of the 1970s and 1980s that many of these countries broke free from domination, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union followed in 1991.
Republics of the USSR included the current states of Russia, the Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, and the aforementioned Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
