| Official national flag of the Soviet Union. Although
many people make the mistake of saying or writing "Soviet Union" when
they mean Russia, or vice versa, the reality is that Russia was only one
of fifteen republics that made up the Soviet Union. These fifteen
republics are, since the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s,
independent countries. The fifteen former republics of the Soviet
Union are: (1) Russia; (2) Ukraine; (3) Uzbekistan; (4) Kazakhstan; (5)
Belarus; (6) Azerbaijan; (7) Georgia; (8) Tajikistan; (9) Moldova; (10)
Kyrgyzstan; (11) Lithuania; (12) Turkmenistan; (13) Armenia; (14)
Latvia; and (15) Estonia. СССР - Союз Советских Социалистических Республик USSR - Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Russian Revolution Gallery Click here to visit our galleries featuring pics and info on famous historical figures. Click here to visit our web page on the geography of Russia. |
