Most participating in this thread are referencing "Soviets" whereas you and I are referencing "Russians". A lot of people just interpret these as the same but I don't. I'll add most people that DON'T interpret these as the same thing will think we are wrong to say "Russian" instead of "Soviet" but I don't .
So the curiosity, do you just see it as the same thing or do you have a different reason to say "Russia"? There really isn't anything wrong if you are just using them as synonyms but just curious if you make a distinction.
