Russia or the USSR (from 1917-89) evolved from a modern day third world country into one of the world's biggest superpowers. They were even stronger than the United States of America in some key economic areas. Their very name was feared by many because of their ruthless stranglehold across the Communist world. The nuclear arms race that resulted in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the pinacle of the Cold War. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 ended the "Era of the Superpower" as well as the Communist revolution promised under Marxism.
