The Soviet Union isn't anymore.
The people of the former Soviet Union were incorrecly all called Russians. Many of them were, because Russia was the biggest part of the Soviet Union. The full name of that state was Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR).
Some of the now independent nations which belonged to the USSR were Soviet Republics (Belarus, Ukraine, Kasahstan and others), others like Latvia, Estonia or Lithuania were annexed by the Russian Soviet Republic.
