Soviet Union 1922–1991 country in Europe and Asia

The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 30 December 1922 to 26 December 1991. Nominally a union of multiple national Soviet republics, its government and economy were highly centralized. The country was a one-party state, governed by the Communist Party with Moscow as its capital in its largest republic, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. Other major urban centres were Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Alma-Ata, and Novosibirsk. It spanned over 10,000 kilometres east to west across 11 time zones, and over 7,200 kilometres north to south.

According to the Walberg in his Postmodern Imperialism: Geopolitics and the Great Games the world is a chessboard where the great game is occurring. [4] Walberg describes the Cold War era as having mainly two games: "one directed against the Soviet Union and its European socialist allies, and the other against the nations struggling for independence from imperial control." Also, he believes that think tanks and the Israeli lobby have a "tremendous influence in shaping the Middle East policy of US." [5]
