The USSR was made up of 15 Soviet Socialist Republics, all of which are now independent countries. * Armenia * Azerbaijan * Belorus * Estonia * Georgia * Kazakhstan * Kirgizstan * Latvia * Lithuania * Moldavia * Russia * Tadjikistan * Turkmenistan * Ukraine * Uzbekistan
Commonwealth of Independent States
The Politburo was the name given the top governing body of the former Soviet Union.
They took it over. The Soviet Union was just a name they had for all the countries that were taken over (13 I believe). It collapsed at the end of the cold war and those countries were not under the control of the soviet union anymore.

The "Soviet Union" did not just change its name to Russia. The Soviet Union had been a union of several different republics. It had first been formed by the union of four republics, Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasus Federation. Others were later added. In 1991, the Soviet Union broke apart into 15 separate countries, one of them being Russia. Russia then took back its old name.

No. Ukraine was one part of the Soviet Union, as was Russia. When the Soviet Union split up all of the countries in it separated into individual countries. So Russia and Ukraine are two separate countries.

I think you mean the Soviet Union. This was a group of countries united around Russia, the largest Soviet Republic (the full name of the Soviet Union is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or USSR). It included a bunch of countries including Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and a whole bunch of other republics. The USSR no longer exists, and many of the former soviet republics are independent nations now. Some are loosely united into the Confederation of Independent States (CIS). Hope this helps!
