 | | The Soviet Union was so large, in fact, that even after all associated republics gained independence, Russia remains the largest country by area, and remains quite ethnically diverse, including, e.g., minorities of Tatars, Udmurts, and many other non-Russian ethnicities. |
| | The collapse of Tsarist rule was followed by the eviction of the landlord class and the subdivision of land among peasant families. |
| | The party chief would sometimes hold other positions, such as the state presidency or premiership ( see Leadership of the Soviet Union). |
