When was the Soviet Union founded? How was it different than Russia?

Well the Soviet Union was founded in 1922, it was a radical idea when the empire family was murder in 1917. The Soviet Union is a communist party that Joseph Stalin was the head of.

Russia, before communism were Orthodox. They decided after the fall of the Byzantine Empire that they were the “New Rome.” Russia never took a break from hardships, ex. the Napoleon wars, WWII, to persecution within their own country.

The Soviet Union was very much unfair and unjust, religion was not allowed, if you were caught going to church or having religion items, you were put into concentration camps during WWII. It was a dictatorship, people were starving and dying out on the streets while Stalin was saying “everything is okay!” On tv or radio to make it seem his ways were doing great. Eventually Gorbachev decided to allow elections which caused the USSR to fall in 1952, and then the people brought down Stalin’s statue as a sign that his tyrannical reign was over and they are now free to be a republic.
