The term Evil Empire refers to the Soviet Union. It was used by former United States president Ronald Reagan to criticize the expansionist and oppressive policies of the Soviet Union.
When it came to nuclear weapons, his policy was "trust but verify." In other words if the Soviet Union agreed to stop producing weapons or if they said they were disassembling them we would trust them but we wanted proof. It's kind of like an oxymoron. He did say at one point that the Soviet Union was an evil empire. He described the then Soviet Union as the Empire of Evil.
No one renamed the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was dissolved by its member republics in December 1991. Russia was the largest Soviet republic and became, in a sense, the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin was the president of Russia at the time, but did he rename the Soviet Union into Russia? Not really.Is it possible that the answer one is looking for is President Reagan, who dubbed the Soviet Union "An Evil Empire"?
The policy of Ronald Reagan's administration toward the Soviet Union was that the communist type of government was untenable. He believed that the form of government would fail within a few years of his presidency.
