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 the 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 dominated the soviet
forces, a coalition of workers’ and soldiers’ committees that called for
the establishment of a socialist state 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
managed 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 influential states
and eventually encompassed 15 republics–Russia, Ukraine, Georgia,
Belorussia, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. In
1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved following the collapse of its
communist government.
