The USSR was born and expanded as a union of Soviet republics formed within the territory of the Russian Empire abolished by the Russian Revolution of 1917 followed by the Russian Civil War of 1918-1921.
Modern revolutionary activity in the Russian Empire began with the Decembrist Revolt of 1825, and although serfdom was abolished in 1861, its abolition was achieved on terms unfavorable to the peasants and served to encourage revolutionaries.
On December 29, 1922 the Russian SFSR, the Transcaucasian SFSR, the Byelorussian SSR and the Ukrainian SSR signed a Treaty of Creation of the USSR forming the Soviet Union by a conference of the representatives, which was confirmed on December 30, 1922 by the 1st Congress of Soviets of the USSR.

 Russian Federation
Assisted by the Russian Orthodox Church and Saint Sergius of Radonezh's spiritual revival, Muscovy inflicted a defeat on the Mongol-Tatars in the Battle of Kulikovo (1380).
Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, and the consequent deterioration of the economy led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire, and ultimately to the overthrow of the Tsar in February 1917.
As of the 2002 Russian census, 79.8% of the population is ethnically Russian, 3.8% Tatar, 2% Ukrainian, 1.2% Bashkir, 1.1% Chuvash, 0.9% Chechen, 0.8% Armenian.

 Russia in the Soviet Union (later flags)
Could the flag of the Commander of Naval Forces of the Soviet Russian Navy (1921-1924) have been the precursor for the design of the later RSFSR flag, red with a vertical blue stripe at the hoist?… I note that the RSFSR was the only SSR flag only with non-horizontal stripes.
The red flag on the left of the photo is clearly not the RSFSR flag, nor the Soviet Flag, nor the Russian tricolor which was not adopted until the following month.
The emblem of Russian SFSR is shown without star (which apparently contradicts this difference being the 1919 change).

 Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR at AllExperts
Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR
The Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was the de jure leader of the Russian SFSR between 1938 and 1991.
Since the Russian SFSR enjoyed only limited autonomy within the Soviet Union until late into the perestroika period and since real executive power was in the hands of the Soviet Communist Party until 1990, the Supreme Soviet and the Chairman's office were mostly ceremonial.

Since 2 Nov 1721 the correct style was Bozhiyeyu milostiyu, N.N., Imperator/Imperatritsa i Samodyerzhets/Samodyerzhitsa Vserossiysky/Vserossiyskaya ("By the Grace of God, N.N., All-Russian Emperor/Empress and Autocrat"); the term tsar was used in the full style for subsidiary (and partially imaginary) polities; in particular, it was used to mean "king" with regard to Poland.
Chairmen of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR (CECUSSR) was a collective body comprised by several chairmen, in principle one of each constituent SSR, although Kalinin (from Russian SFSR) was often viewed as the single chairman.

 The Jamestown Foundation
Russian nationalism was similar to British, which sought to maintain an empire or great state and prevent the secession of outlying regions.
One explanation for the weakness of Russian nationalism in the former Soviet Union, and therefore the inability of Russians outside Russia to mobilize, is the lack of an ethno-cultural base.
Russian identity cannot confine itself only to the boundaries of the Russian Federation because of the legacy of the Soviet Union, in which Russian and Soviet were the same.

However, the fact that the Soviet regime was dominated by Russians did not mean that the Russian SFSR necessarily benefited from this arrangement.

In 2004, the population of the Russian Federation was 143,782,338.

 Flag of Russia information - Search.com
While the Russian tricolour is allegedly based on the Dutch civil ensign, it was used earlier than is commonly presumed (in fact, it was already flown by the Oriol - "Eagle" - the first battleship of the Russian Navy, in 1667).
A very common interpretation is the association of colours with the main parts of the Russian Empire: White thus represents White Russia (Belarus), blue the Ukraine or Small Russia ("Malorossia"), Red the Russian mainland.
When the Bolsheviks took power in 1917, the tricolour design was discarded, and a definitive new flag of the Russian Republic (one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union) was introduced in 1954 (see flag of Russian SFSR), and this remained the republic's flag until the collapse of the Soviet Government.

 EDITORIAL: The Russian Duma speaks its mind (03/24/96)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Let's just say it right off the bat: The Russian Duma's resolution of March 15 - which attempts to turn the clock back by stating that the break-up of the Soviet Union in December 1991 was illegal - is dangerous.
The Communist-dominated Duma of the Russian Federation on March 15 voted overwhelmingly - 250-98 - to abrogate the Russian SFSR Supreme Soviet's resolution of December 12, 1991, which denounced the 1922 agreement on the USSR's formation.
The Russian Duma's action sent a collective shudder through member-states of the CIS who are looking to shore up the region's stability while building normal bilateral and multilateral ties among themselves, as well as the neighboring Baltic states.

 Ukrainian-Russian Historical Commission Raises Storm - T. Kuzio
The creation of the Russian-Ukrainian historians commission will also be challenged by a growing body of Russian historians who are more willing than Kuchma or Semynozhenko to move away from "harmonization" toward the reconciliation and normalization work undertaken by Poles and Ukrainians.
Writing in the April issue of the journal "Nations and Nationalism," Professor Vera Tolz surveys the decline in attempts by Russian historians to associate the Russian tsarist empire or the USSR with "Russia," or to see Kyiv Rus as the first "Russian" state.
This development is the first attempt, Tolz believes, whereby Russian historians are in the "process of inventing a truly national tradition" outside the imperial past.
