The Dawn of an Empire: The USSR is Formed

The Dawn of an Empire: The USSR is Formed

On this day, December 30th, in 1922, a major turning point in 20th-century history occurred: Vladimir Lenin proclaimed the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The formal announcement, made at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, united Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Transcaucasia under a single banner, setting the stage for the Soviet Union to become a dominant global superpower. This vast state, which profoundly shaped the next seven decades of global politics, finally dissolved at the end of 1991.
