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.

∙ 11y agoThe answer you want is 1991, but it's not accurate to say the Soviet Union was "renamed" Russia. The Soviet Union was, in fact, a union of fifteen separate republics. Russia was one of these republics and by far the largest. When the Soviet Union collapsed, each of the Soviet republics, including Russia, became independent countries.

In December 1922, Russia joined with the republics of Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasian Federation (a federation of the republics of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or USSR. It was all done under the direction of Vladimir I. Lenin.
