United Soviet Socialists Republic....U.S.S.R.

Firstly, that was not Russia but a whole lot of countries that formed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

It was part of the UNION.....correction. It has been called "Russia" since the 17th century.The Russian Federation was founded following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, but is recognized as the continuing legal personality of the Soviet state.

The Russian SFSR together with three other Soviet republics formed the Soviet Union on 30 December 1922. Out of the 15 republics that later constituted the Soviet Union, the SFSR, the largest republic in terms of size and making up over half of the total USSR population, dominated the Soviet Union for its entire 69-year history; the USSR was often referred to, though incorrectly, as "Russia" and its people as "Russians".
