A communist nation consisting of Russia and 14 other states that existed from 1922 to 1991 is which country?

• A. Soviet Union
• B. China
• C. Vietnam
• D. Mongolia

Answer: (A)

Recognize a historic federation of multiple socialist republics under a single communist government. The country described is the Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, formed in 1922 and lasting until 1991. It was a single sovereign state made up of 15 republics, with Russia being the largest, together often summarized as “Russia and 14 other states.” The union dissolved in 1991 as republics declared independence, ending the federation. Why the others don’t fit: China, Vietnam, and Mongolia are independent nations, not a federation of 15 republics under one communist government.
