    Actually, Russia was NEVER called the USSR. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was made up of 15 so-called "independent republics" which included the largest, the "Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic."

    The USSR or in Russian. Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (CCCP) was formed in 1922 while Lenin was still the leader.

    That means that under Lenin, Russia was called the "Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic."

    Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – USSR

    Боюз БовСтских БоциалистичСских РСспублик – CCCP in Russian.

    transliterated: Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik – SSSR.

    It existed from 1922 to 1991 and was formed from the union of four SSR and grew to include 15 by 1956. Before the initial union Russia was Russian SSR or Russian Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik.

    Russia was one of the "republics" that were in the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." The USSR was established under Lenin, in 1922, and is considered the successor to the tsarist empire.

    In zose days, (und alzo in ze days of Stalin, ecktually), ve used to call it "Russia".

    You may be a leetle confused by ze fact zat 'Russia' vos jus one state wizin the CCCP.

    Ze Amerikans, with their typically disregard for ektual Vurld Geography, used to call ze whole CCCP "Russia", a leetle like callink all of ze USA "Texas-land". Ha-ha! Soviet humour! Oh zose wealthy but wacky fools!
