The U.S., under the Lend-Lease Act, supplied the Soviet Union with outdated arms, tanks, trucks, and aircraft. The Soviet Union then took these supplies, stripped them of their manufacturers' logos and placed Soviet markings on them to make their men think that they were produced in the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union sent 420 athletes to the Summer Games in Helsinki and none to the Winter Games in Oslo.
The Soviet Union supported North Korea because North Korea was communist.
To see if it was possible to survive to be launched into space.
It did nothing, because it was boycotting the Security Council
The first country to send a spacecraft to the moon was the Soviet Union with their Luna 2 mission in 1959.
Yes.
Several spacecraft have observed Venus, including NASA's Magellan spacecraft which mapped the planet's surface with radar, and the European Space Agency's Venus Express which studied the planet's atmosphere and surface. The Soviet Union's Venera program also sent several landers and probes to Venus in the 1970s and 1980s.
The first spacecraft to send a human being into space was Vostok 1, launched by the Soviet Union on April 12, 1961. The astronaut Yuri Gagarin made history by becoming the first human to travel to space and orbit the Earth.
The second country to send a man into space was the Soviet Union, on April 12, 1961. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space and orbit the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
The two spaceships in the Space Race were the Soviet Union's Vostok and the United States' Mercury spacecraft. These spacecraft were used to send humans into space during the height of the Cold War competition between the two superpowers.
The Soviet Union was the first nation to successfully send a man into space, Yuri A. Gagarin in the Vostok spacecraft which orbited Earth once before returning on the 12th of April 1961.
The ex Soviet Union was.
No person has landed on Venus. The Soviet Union's Venera program successfully landed unmanned spacecraft on Venus in the 1970s and 1980s, providing valuable data about the planet's surface and atmosphere.
Venus has been visited by various probes, while other space vehicles have flown past or have entered into orbit around it to study the surface and atmosphere. No one has physically set foot onto the planet. In October 1967, the Soviet Venera 4 probe was the first successful probe to perform in-place analysis of the environment of another planet. In December 1970, Venera 7 became the first man-made spacecraft to successfully land on another planet and to transmit data from there back to Earth. The first probe to land on its surface and sucessfully send back pictures was Venera 9 in October 1975.

Russia (at the time the Soviet Union) was the first country to send a man into space. The man was cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
