ok

USSR was a communist state and ruled by dictators

then the cold war ended about 20 years ago and it is now Russia.

so i would put Dmitry Medvedev as he is the current leader.

the text book must be real old

  The USSR collapsed into 15 countries in 1991, not just Russia.
  

Answer 2

The USSR and Soviet union were the same thing, in 1991 it collapsed into 15 countries.

Answer 3

What kind of crap is this? The Soviet Union (USSR stands for United Soviet Socialist Republics) ceased to exist after 1991, when their economy collapsed. Not after World War II. But for the most part, you are right. The USSR does not exist anymore (because they're godless Commies), but the Russian Federation does, and so do all of the former republics. If they are asking for the current leader of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev is the current president of Russia. But if they're talking about the last leader of the USSR that was Mikhail Gorbachev. If I were you, I would just write it on the homework as Dmitry Medvedev, and if the teacher has a problem with it, tell them everything I told you.

I say write it on Medvedev because when people refer to the USSR, they're generally talking about Russia.

Answer 4

The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) was around from 1917 through about 1989 when it was dissolved. After 1989, it became the "Russian Federation", which is simply called, "Russia". Their current president is Dmitry Medvedev who replaced Vladimir Putin. Putin is now the Prime Minister.

Answer 5

Lol god i'm always surprised at how people are ignorant. Um well okay the USSR IS THE SOVIET UNION. Which doesn't exist anymore. Not since 1991 (when it disappeared)! So in 1991 USSR dislocated and all the republics became independant countries, such as Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, Belorus, etc etc. Go on wikipedia.

Answer 6

The USSR was the soviet union before the cold war. Now it's Russia

  And 14 other countries.
  

Answer 7

USSR=union of socialist soviet republics= Russia + a few neighbour countries.

USSR ended in the early nineties when every country went its separate way.

Comunism ended as well, so they were not soviet anymore either.

try looking it up on wikipedia.
