Soviet Union almost exclusively.  On the rare occasion I call it something else, it's simply 'Russia.'

The Soviet Union. I don't think I've ever called it the USSR. I occasionally just say Russia or Soviet Russia, though.

Same for me. I'd only refer to it as "Russia" if I wasn't thinking. Smiley

Calling it Russia would be inaccurate.  It would be like calling the United States of America "California."

It's also the reverse extremity of calling US "America".

Just Russia. No need to say it differently if people know what you mean.

No, it would be like calling Austria-Hungary "Austria" (which I do when the context is clear).

Accidently voted "Communist Russia", meant to vote "Other" for "Soviet Russia".
