May I suggest you use the term "Soviet"? It is more accurate and inclusive.
The USSR was much more than "Russia". If you have ever seen banknotes from the USSR, the denomination is printed in all of the 25 official languages.
For example, Estonians fought with the Red Army, had their own tank battallion, and lived as part of the USSR for fifty years. They are
not Russians, they are not even Slavs, and will not take kindly to any suggestion that they are.
Just a suggestion.
