Is there any difference between Russia, USSR and the Soviet Union? |
Travel Info I know this is the same country, but were different names used under communist rule, or at different times etc? Travel Tips soviet union and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are the same in russian it was CCCP.. Russia was one of the socialist republics within the USSR since the disintigration of the USSR russia has revertered to being a n independent state again list of the soviet republics 1. Armenian SSR 2. Azerbaijan SSR 3. Byelorussian SSR 4. Estonian SSR 5. Georgian SSR 6. Kazakh SSR 7. Kyrgyz SSR 8. Latvian SSR 9. Lithuanian SSR 10. Moldavian SSR 11. Russian SFSR 12. Tajik SSR 13. Turkmen SSR 14. Ukrainian SSR 15. Uzbek SSR Others Soviet Union and USSR are the same thing. Russia is one of many countries which were part of the Soviet Union or USSR. Russia is an independent country. Soviet Union and USSR are the same thing and were a group of countries (so including Ukraine, Belarus etc.) that were under the Soviet banner, but controlled by Russia. Cynics might say the EU is a version of USSR!! well, USSR and soviet union are the same but after the soviet union splitted into russia and many small countries including uzbekistan.so, russia is a country which emerged from soviet union. Russia is a geographic location, like California. The USSR consisted of many regions with one central government, which was in Russia, in the city of Moscow. The "Soviet Union" was more or less a slang term for the USSR, like we use America when we talk about The United States of America. The USSR disolved into smaller countries, Russia is the largest of those disolved states. Officially, the USSR no longer exists, so neither can the "Soviet Union". As everyone else says, the Soviet Union and the USSR are the same thing. The USSR is an abbreviation for the "United Soviet Socialist Republic". It represents the government that existed from about 1919 to 1989. The people of this region of the globe have always been, and will always be, Russians. It is a more a cultural name than a governmental. Today, what remains of the former USSR is called Russia, but several other countries exist as well, which were once part of the USSR. Soviet Union is the English translation of USSR, which means roghtly the same. That Union is now dead. It used to be in existance up the time of Gorbachov. Then it collapsed, together with its comminism, and the Russia Federation was borne. Few former communist countries joined the newly formmed federation of indipendant states. Russia is still a country, whose capital is Moscow and is the leading member of the new federation. All the best!/ |
