The Soviet Union, officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (USSR), was founded on 30 December 1922. The establishment of
the Soviet Union marked the consolidation of power by the Bolsheviks,
led by Vladimir Lenin, following the Russian Revolution of 1917. The
Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government and eventually emerged
as the ruling party, leading to the establishment of the world's first
socialist state. The Soviet Union existed until its dissolution on
26 December 1991, after a period of economic and political upheaval,
marking the end of the Cold War era.
