The leader of the Soviet Union during this time was Mikhail Gorbachev, who served as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1985 until 1991. He is known for his policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), which aimed to reform the political and economic system. Gorbachev's leadership ultimately contributed to significant changes in Eastern Europe and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Who was Russian President in 1971?

In 1971, the leader of the Soviet Union was Leonid Brezhnev, who held the title of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He became the de facto leader after the death of Nikita Khrushchev in 1964 and remained in power until his death in 1982.

During what years were Russia and the Soviet Union the same?

This may be nit-picking, but it probably would not be for natives of the several former Soviet Socialist Republics. Russia and the Soviet Union were actually never "the same". It's a little like asking 'During what years were England and Great Britain the same?' The term 'Russia' was often used as a commonly understood but not entirely accurate way of refering to the Soviet Union, in much the same way that the term 'America' is widely but inaccurately used to refer to the US. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics existed from about 1918 until 1991. See link for more details.
