Lenin
In soviet russia leadership doesn't change.
Russia became the ussr when the Bolsheviks took power in 1917 (I believe that's the date) and Lenin took power then Stalin took power and then the soviet union collapsed and Boris Yeltsin became the first president of russia I hope that answers your question
Russia became independent of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The Soviet Union was formally dissolved in 1991, leaving 15 'new' states and countries, including Russia. As a result of the 1917 Revolution, Russia became the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic which joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to create the Soviet Union.
no, its not! The Soviet Union is Russia.
Russia never "became know as the Soviet Union." However, when it formed the Soviet Union, its name had been changed from Russia to the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic.
When the Soviet Union exister, Russia was merely one country out of the whole Soviet Union. The Union also included countries like Kazahkstan and Turkestan. Russia just happens to be where the Soviet Union began.
No one renamed the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was dissolved by its member republics in December 1991. Russia was the largest Soviet republic and became, in a sense, the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin was the president of Russia at the time, but did he rename the Soviet Union into Russia? Not really.Is it possible that the answer one is looking for is President Reagan, who dubbed the Soviet Union "An Evil Empire"?
Answer this question… The Soviet Union became the world's first communist state.
The Russian Empire became the USSR in 1922.
Russia became first a communist state and later the largest Soviet Republic in the Soviet Union.
No. Russia was a member of the Soviet Union until 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed.
