The '''Union of Soviet Socialist Republics''' ('''USSR'''),{{Efn|Russian: Союз Советских Социалистических Республик, СССР}} commonly known as the '''Soviet Union''',{{Efn|Russian: Советский Союз}} was a transcontinental [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist–Leninist]] state which existed from the period of 1922 to 1991, when it was [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|dissolved]] and legally succeeded by the [[Russian Federation]]. It was a [[one-party state]] led by the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] as well as a federation of 15 [[union republic|union republics]], the largest of which was the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]].<br />
<br />
The Soviet Union and its nature remains controversial among the [[Leftism|left]]. Many Marxist–Leninists argue it was a flagship [[socialist state]] which maintained an [[Anti-imperialism|anti-imperialist]] foreign policy up until its dissolution. Others, such as [[Anti-revisionism|anti-revisionists]], assert it betrayed [[Socialism|socialist]] values after [[De-Stalinization|1956]] and became [[Social-imperialism|social-imperialist]]. Others still, such as [[Libertarian socialism|libertarian socialists]], argue it never was truly socialist and degenerated into bureaucratic [[authoritarianism]].<br />
