The Soviet Union (USSR) was a country that existed from 1922 to 1991. It was a socialist state that comprised 15 Soviet Socialist Republics, including:
1. Armenia
2. Azerbaijan
3. Belarus
4. Estonia
5. Georgia
6. Kazakhstan
7. Kyrgyzstan
8. Latvia
9. Lithuania
10. Moldova
11. Russia
12. Tajikistan
13. Turkmenistan
14. Ukraine
15. Uzbekistan
In 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved, and these 15 republics became independent countries. Russia is the largest and most populous country among the former Soviet republics, and it is often considered the successor state to the Soviet Union.
So, when we talk about the Soviet Union's Olympic medals, it's important to note that those medals were won by athletes representing the USSR, not a specific country like Russia or Ukraine, which are now separate nations.
