10 Time Zones. The Soviet Union disbanded in August, 1991. Time zones across Russia run as follows, by using London, England as the GMT reference point of noon:, Paris, France +1, and Helsinki, Netherlands +2, then: Moscow +3 (or 3PM) Crimea +4 (or 4 PM) Yekaterinburg +5 Novosibirsk +6 Kreasnoyarsk +7 Irkutsk +8 Yukutsk +9 Vladivostok +10 Madadan +11 (or 11 PM) Kamchatka +12 (or midnight) and Alaska, USA would be -9 (or 3 AM the night before)
It has to be either China or the former Soviet union.
The Trans Siberian Railway is the longest railroad in the world, crossing eight time zones, and covering a huge area made up mostly of the Asian part of the former Soviet Union.

The German Democratic Republic, otherwise known as East Germany, was a satellite of the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II. This lasted until the collapse of the Soviet bloc around 1989-1991.

No, it isn't. At the time the Soviet Union was still in existence, "Russia" was one part of the Soviet Union, although by far the largest and most dominant. In December 1922, Russia, then known as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, joined with Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation to form the Soviet Union. After that over time, the Soviet Union annexed or took under its control many other nearby republics, such as Uzbekistan, Khazakstan and others.
There were 13 unions at the time the Soviet Union was part of the Axis until they switched sides to join the Allied Forces.
The UN decision to intervene in Korea was not vetoed by the Soviet Union because at that time the Soviet Union was not a part of the UN. The Soviet Union had removed itself from the UN in protest.
They wanted large buffer zones to use in time of war to prevent invaders from actually reaching their home territory.
No one renamed the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was dissolved by its member republics in December 1991. Russia was the largest Soviet republic and became, in a sense, the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin was the president of Russia at the time, but did he rename the Soviet Union into Russia? Not really.Is it possible that the answer one is looking for is President Reagan, who dubbed the Soviet Union "An Evil Empire"?
No. The soviet union was not in existence at that time.
there are 24 time zones
