Blog #5 USSR to Russia


José Luis Castañeda

                The Soviet Union or USSR was a unification of states between Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Estonia and other neighbor countries that in total made fifteen constituent republics. It was a big world power with a communist / socialist ideology based on equality and justice. The capital of all these fifteen countries was Moscow so most of the USSR power, economy and bases were established on Russia. 

                The formation of the USSR was all ready a change for Russia it was the product from the revolution and the rise of Bolsheviks power, then it became a unified nation that represents the communism. In the World War II the Germans decided to invade the Soviet Union and started and new armed conflict with the Allies. After the World War II the cold war began and the rivalry between United States of America and USSR started. They both wanted to impose, influence and control the world with their own ideology.

But sadly for the USSR they lose the race because of several factors such as economy, influence, allies and the most important the death of Stalin, lieder of the USSR. After Stalin´s death the USSR went down and begins to lose influence, power and countries that were attached became independent or were dissolved. At 1991 the presidents from the remaining USSR declared the dissolution of the Soviet Union. 

So from being fifteen unified countries most of the USSR became and independent country called Russian Federation this was a enormous change not only for the countries that formed the USSR but is also affects every single neighbor country and to Europe, America and Asia. This huge transition for a single communist party to a multi party representative democracy was incredible difficult for the politicians, police, bureaucracy, civilians, etc and took a long time to establish and star working as an independent country.
