| - The Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics (U.S.S.R.; Russian: Союз Советских Cуверенных Республик, Soyuz Sovetskikh Suverennykh Respublik; abbreviated С.С.С.Р., S.S.S.R.), commonly known as the Soviet Union (Советский Союз, Sovietsky Soyuz) , is a constitutionally socialist state, ruled as a single-party state by the Communist Party with its capital as Moscow. A union of 16 subnational Soviet republics, its government and economy were highly centralised. The Soviet Union had its roots in the Russian Revolution of 1905, which deposed Nicholas II, ending three hundred years of Romanov dynastic rule. The Soviet Union had its roots in the Russian Revolution of 1905, which deposed the imperial autocracy. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, then overthrew the Provisional Government. Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Soviet Union, the world's first constitutionally socialist state and a recognized superpower, which played a decisive role in the Allied victory in Great Patriotic War. The Cold War saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first spacecraft, and the first astronaut. In the late 1980s the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, sought to reform the Union, introducing the policies of glasnost and perestroika in an attempt to end the period of economic stagnation and democratize the government, and central authorities initiated a referendum, boycotted by the Baltic republics and Georgia, which resulted in the majority of participating citizens voting in favour of preserving the Union as a renewed federation. The Soviet Union reformed and was formally became the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics on August 20, 1991. The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Imperial Federation left the USSR as the sole superpower. The Soviet economy ranks as the second largest by nominal GDP and first largest by purchasing power parity.Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources, the largest reserves in the world, have made it one of the largest producers of oil and natural gas globally. The country is one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possesses the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. The Soviet Union is a superpower and a permanent member of the Collective International Union Security Council, a member of the G8, G20, the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation, the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation, COMECON, and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the leading member of the Warsaw Pact.
