The word "soviet" comes from the Russian word for" council". Groups of revolutionaries formed such Soviets in Petrograd, Moscow and other larger cities all throughout Russia just before the 1917 revolutions. These councils of workers' deputies were called "Soviets." They were set up to become a force on behalf of the Russian people to make their demands and grievance known to the Tsar to force him to do something about them or the Soviets would organize strikes and demonstrations.

I have never heard of the phrase "Land of Soviet" so I cannot confirm that it was ever used. If it had been, that is where the name came from.
