Russia became first a communist state and later the largest Soviet Republic in the Soviet Union.
Russia was not divided into separate republics when the Soviet Union was first formed. The Soviet Union was formed when Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasian Federation (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) banded together to form the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union then added more and more republics. In 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 separate republics.
When Germany surrendered in 1945 the occupying armies Britain, France, the United States and Soviet Union divided Germany into sectors of control. The zone under soviet contorl became East Germany and the other sectors became West Germany.
1991 The USSR did not "turn into Russia." The USSR was a collection of many separate republics into one nation much like the United States is a collection of individual states into one nation. In 1991, the USSR broke up into 15 separate nations one of which was the Russian Federation.
Non-communist Russia was called Russia. When Russia was under communism, it was called the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics or the USSR.

Russia and the Soviet union are the same thing. So is Soviet Russia and the U.S.S.R. As well the Soviet Union(U.S.S.R) was just Russia and its satellite countries put together under communist rule in Russia.
In soviet russia leadership doesn't change.
No, it isn't. At the time the Soviet Union was still in existence, "Russia" was one part of the Soviet Union, although by far the largest and most dominant. In December 1922, Russia, then known as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to form the Soviet Union. After that over time, the Soviet Union annexed or took under its control many other nearby republics, such as Uzbekistan, Khazakstan and others.
No, it didn't. Under Peter the Great's reign Saint-Petersburg became the capital of Russia. Only in 1917 when the regime of czars fell and the Soviet Union was founded, Moscow again became the capital.
The actual name of Russia is Rossiya, transliterated from Cyrillic to English. The official government and state name in English is the Russian Federation, or Rossiskaya Federatziya transliterated.
