Overview
Gillian Seed and his wife Jamie from Snatcher, working in the USSR
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the Russian Civil war (coming to an end in 1921), the USSR was born as a union of several Soviet Republics, though the group was still commonly referred to as Russia. The Soviet Union consisted of many Baltic states, Eastern Poland, Bessarabia, and territories gained in World War II.
In its time the Soviet Union became the premiere Communist state, and many Communist nations at the time and in the future modeled their Communist systems after that of the Soviet Union. Within the Soviet Union, during the Cold War era and beyond, the Communist party was the lone politcal party within the nation.
Prior to World War II, and up the the eventual demise of the Soviet union, was a period known as the Cold War. The Cold War was a confrontation between the USSR and the United States of America, two nations who politically opposed each other. Both were the world's superpowers. Though it is referred to as a war, no military conflict ever occurred between the nations, simply much militarization.
The Soviet Union came to an end in the 90's with Gorbachev's reforms, and the signing of Belavezha Accords, which dissolved the Union.
