On December 30, 1922, in post-revolutionary Russia, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) is established, comprising a
confederation of Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine and the Transcaucasian Federation (divided in 1936 into the Georgian, Azerbaijan
and Armenian republics). Also known as the Soviet Union, the new communist state was the successor to the Russian Empire and th
e first country in the world to be based on Marxist socialism.
During the Russian Revolution of 1917 and subsequent three-year Russian Civil War, the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin dom
inated the soviet forces, a coalition of workers’ and soldiers’ committees that called for the establishment of a socialist sta
te in the former Russian Empire. In the USSR, all levels of government were controlled by the Communist Party, and the party’s
politburo, with its increasingly powerful general secretary, effectively ruled the country. Soviet industry was owned and manag
ed by the state, and agricultural land was divided into state-run collective farms.
In the decades after it was established, the Russian-dominated Soviet Union grew into one of the world’s most powerful and infl
uential states and eventually encompassed 15 republics—Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belorussia, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, K
azakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. In 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolve
d following the collapse of its communist government.
