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.

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.

Not really.Is it possible that the answer one is looking for is President Reagan, who dubbed the Soviet Union "An Evil Empire"?
