The Soviet Union (Russian: Советский Союз, tr. Sovetsky Soyuz), officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR; Russian: Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик, tr. Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik; IPA: [sɐˈjus sɐˈvʲetskʲɪx sətsɨəlʲɪˈstʲitɕɪskʲɪx rʲɪsˈpublʲɪk] ( listen); abbreviated СССР, SSSR), was a constitutionally socialist state that existed in Eurasia between 1922 and 1991.
The Soviet Union was a single-party state ruled by the Communist Party from its foundation until 1990. A union of 15 subnational Soviet republics, the Soviet state was structured under a highly centralized government and economy.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 caused the downfall of the Russian Empire. Following the Russian Revolution, there was a struggle for power between the Bolshevik party, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the anti-communist White movement. In December 1922, the Bolsheviks won the civil war, and the Soviet Union was formed with the merger of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic.

(Verse)
My heart beats like a bloody sting
Tie me down with the tightest string
Walking alone through the cemetery
Girl you alone sitting next to me
(Chorus)
Giving you up is the hardest thing wow
You your games and your subtleties wow
You alone in the summer's breeze girl
(Verse)
We take for granted this security wow
A familiarity the luxury wow
We're stuck here arguing the same old thing wow
Locked alone in our tendencies
(Verse)
And the frantic seizure in the city street wow
The children dance 'till the silence beat wow
You alone in the neo heathen throne
(Verse)
Back again in the same routine wow
Familiar habities and activites wow
Mammal insticits,procurities wow
All alone in our sanctity
(Chorus)
Giving you up is the hardest thing
You we're never ever meant to leave home
Day in the night
taking places in the train to Moscow
Now I'm coming back to drink some iced vodka.
Landscape in white
sun is shining through the icicles
I'm dancing in the snow to balalaikas.
Time can go by but the Russian girls
don't ever seem to leave my mind
Fine
don't see why I should even try
to leave my heart behind.
U.S.S.R. - I'm back into the U.S.S.R.
U.S.S.R. - I'm back into the U.S.S.R.!
Jumpin' is right
now this time I'm on vacation
And I'm going to have some fun rocking in Gorki Park.
Time can go by but the Russian girls
don't ever seem to leave my mind
. . .
U.S.S.R. - I'm back into the U.S.S.R.
. . .
U.S.S.R. - I'm back into the U.S.S.R.
