February ** Dynamic Incentive Program It can be said unequivocally that the Soviet Union has collapsed and has not changed its name to Russia, but the Soviet Union has very close ties with Russia. 
The Soviet Union, the full name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was founded in 1922, initially composed of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasian Federation, and then gradually expanded to cover Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Moldavia, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Estonia and other 15 republics. The territory of the Soviet Union once straddled Europe and Asia, and was one of the "two hegemons" in the world at that time. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the country underwent a series of changes and constructions, such as industrialization and agricultural collectivization, and its comprehensive national strength was greatly enhanced. During World War II, the former Soviet Union was one of the main forces in the fight against German fascism and made great contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. After World War II, it became one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council and engaged in a long "cold war" with the United States.
During the Soviet period, Russia, as a core republic, assumed many important political, economic and social functions, and the political system of the Soviet Union followed the Russian political structure to a certain extent.
On December 25, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR held its last meeting and announced that the Soviet Union had ceased to exist and that the Soviet Union had officially dissolved. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the republics of the former Soviet Union became independent, and Russia also separated from the Soviet Union and became a new country independently, and as the "eldest son", it became the successor of the Soviet Union, taking over most of the "heritage" of the former Soviet Union, including most of the territory, military power, cultural heritage and international status. On April 16, 1992, the 6th National People's Congress of Russia decided to officially establish the name of the country as "Russia", reverting to its historical name.
