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.

It isn't as simple as Russia changing its name. No single nation "became the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" And it wasn't in 1917. In 1922, Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation (a union of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) joined together to form the USSR by entering into the Treaty of the Soviet Union. As time went on other nearby republics either joined or were absorbed into the USSR.
