the Soviet Union
( historical ) transcontinental country in Europe Asia Russia and fourteen other countries. Official name: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Synonyms: USSR CCCP SSSR SU Russia ( loosely ) 1989 National Geographic 175 , number 5, page 604 :In the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, three of the Soviet Union's fifteen constituent republics, last year's most dangerous fantasies have been sanctioned by the government itself. From Moscow has come the admission that yes, after all, the Soviet Union occupied these nations by force in 1940, against the will of the people.
2005 Tony Judt , “The Impossible Settlement”, in Postwar: A history of Europe since 1945 , London: Vintage Books, published 2010 , →ISBN Hence the famous February 9th 1946 speech at the Bolshoi Theatre, where Stalin announced that the Soviet Union was returning to its pre-war emphasis on industrialization, war-preparedness, and the inevitability of conflict between capitalism and Communism, and made explicit what was already obvious, that henceforth the Soviet Union would cooperate with the West only when it suited her.
