The "Soviet Union" did not just change its name to Russia. The Soviet Union had been a union of several different republics. It had first been formed by the union of four republics, Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasus Federation. Others were later added. In 1991, the Soviet Union broke apart into 15 separate countries, one of them being Russia. Russia then took back its old name.
