From the days of the Russian Empire to the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, Russia has a rich and complex history. The transformation from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the USSR marked a significant shift in global politics. The Cold War rivalry between the US and USSR defined much of 20th-century geopolitics. Despite its dissolution in 1991, memories of the USSR still linger in modern Russia. The legacy of communism, industrialization, and repression continue to shape contemporary Russian society. From Lenin to Gorbachev, each leader left their mark on this vast nation. As Russia navigates its place on the world stage today, it's impossible to ignore its tumultuous past as part of both Russie URSS (Union des Républiques socialistes soviétiques) or Soviet Union (Союз Советских Социалистических Республик).
