Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic

The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) was the largest and most influential constituent of the Soviet Union, established after the Russian Revolution of 1917. It represented the communist government, promoting socialist ideals and state control over the economy. The RSFSR played a pivotal role in the early years of the USSR, which formed in 1922. Its government structure emphasized central planning, collectivization, and the redistribution of land and resources. The RSFSR was significant in shaping Soviet policies and served as a foundation for the subsequent republics within the Union until its dissolution in 1991.
