The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), also known as the Soviet Union was a transcontinental socialist state that existed from 1922 until its dissolution in 1991. It was founded in 1922 following the Great October Socialist Revolution in 1917 and was the first state to achieve socialism.
The Soviet Union was a federal state composed for much of existence of fifteen separate Union Republics, all of which existed on a voluntary and equal basis within the Union. Through workers' and peasants' councils and the party, the Soviet Union formed and consolidated as a major socialist state under a dictatorship of the proletariat. Having begun its socialist construction under the leadership of Joseph Stalin in the late 1920s with the discontinuation of the New Economic Policy, the Soviet Union withstood periods of capitalist encirclement and aggression along with internal reaction resulting from collectivization, defending itself and aiding other revolutionary movement abroad.
Foundations of Leninism is a book by Joseph Stalin, which describes the theory and tactics of Marxism–Leninism. It does not explain the underlying Marxist principles, but specifically the new developments of Marxism–Leninism. Stalin denies that Marxism–Leninism is a purely Russian phenomenon or just the application of Marxism to Russian conditions, instead explains how Leninism is the response of the proletarian movement to imperialism, which hadn't yet developed in Marx's and Engels' time.
