Right after the October Revolution, in 1918 Russia was renamed the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. In 1922 it joined with the republics of Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Soviet Union. "Russia" was not simply renamed the Soviet Union.
