The present day Russian Federation originated from Slavic Tribes and the first Slavic State had been founded in 882 under the name of Kievan Rus'. Ivan III the Great later United independent villages and cities of modern day Russia under one State and expelled the Tatars from his land. During this time the area which is now Russia was already referred to as Russia, but not officially. From then on it had always been called Russia.
Immediately after the Russian Revolution, it was referred to as the Russian Republic, the Soviet Republic or the Russian Soviet Republic. A constitution was adopted in November 1917 with the formal name the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. It kept this name as one of the republics of the Soviet Union which was created in 1922. In 1937, it was renamed the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. It was renamed the Russian Federation in 1991 after the break down of the Soviet Union.
