Soviet Russia

Soviet Russia, officially the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, was the largest part of the Soviet Union, a socialist state that existed from 1922 to 1991. Under communist rule, it aimed to establish a classless society through state control of the economy and redistribution of wealth. It was characterized by a centralized government, five-year plans for economic development, and suppression of political dissent. The Soviet Union played a major role in 20th-century global politics, especially during the Cold War, competing with the United States ideologically and militarily. Its legacy includes significant achievements in science and industry, as well as challenges related to political freedoms and human rights.
