Pretty amusing that Russia is around the middle of the field in terms of percentage who guessed it correctly.

i somehow just didn't think about it, got all others right and spent a while thinking "huh what could this last one be..."

the 3rd goal never crossed the line and the fourth was irregular as spectators had already invaded the pitch. 2 all draw.

I wouldn't consider Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in this list. At least they aren't in the geography song my kids learned about the countries of the former USSR

Mar 22, 2017

Has it occurred to you that the song is wrong then? Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania most definitely three of the fifteen republics of the old USSR.

Level 86

Technically, yes. Many countries, in fact most, considered it an illegal takeover and several, including the US, maintained that the Baltic States were independent nations.

"Technically, yes"...? Well this quiz is about which countries were "technically" part of the Soviet Union!

Level 82

Dec 7, 2018

The USSR issued passports, Russified the Baltic countries, and were governed by the Communist Party and all three were Republics of the USSR, on par with other republics (except for Russia). They were considered essentially Soviet. Recognized or not, legal or not, they were part of the Soviet Union in practice.

Ugh... I only forgot Moldova...

Level 74

Mar 27, 2017

WHy is russia not the most guessed one?

Level 36

Aug 16, 2017

Because many of us still think of Russia AS the Soviet Union. Have you really noticed a difference?

Level 74

Aug 22, 2017

Just completely biffed Russia.

Level 81

Nov 12, 2017

I've been to 9 of these countries. I might have been to 10 except the visa to Azerbaijan is expensive.

Just wondering, how many countries have you been to?

Now you mention it, it does look a bit like her

Level 10

Dec 7, 2018

How did so many people miss Russia, they were practically the Soviet Union anyway. 88% is shocking, even Ukraine managed 95%.

Level 82

Dec 7, 2018

I think because people just think Russia = USSR, so its like the other countries broke off and they forget to put Russia as an answer. I almost missed it as well and then the light bulb went on.

Level 81

Dec 7, 2018

I think you answered your own question when you said Russia was practically the Soviet Union. A lot of people are probably thinking of countries *other than* Russia since they see Russia and the USSR as synonymous.

Level 53

Jan 23, 2019

Yes, I actually did FORGET RUSSIA.....SMH.

Why is East Germany not included? Might be a dumb question...

Level 39

Dec 1, 2019

because it wasn't in the USSR

Level 30

East Germany was an occupation zone, then a satellite state

The bread lines. The complete lack of decent entertainment options. Not getting to choose what city you lived in. The bleak apartment blocks. Those were the days!

Where is Finland it was a country owned by the Ussr unless it was given independence before it broke up.

Level 64

Jun 26, 2021

Finland became independent in 1917

The USSR was established in 1922

Level 66

Aug 22, 2021

Finland was part of the Russian Empire but became independent after the Russian Revolution and the USSR never got Finland back, though they tried during the Winter War.

Level 48

Oct 10, 2021

Finland was never owned by the USSR. It gained independence from the Russian Empire before the USSR even existed.

We couldve counted tannu tuva because they were apart of the ussr but in ww2 they were only reconized by mongolia and the ussr sooo maybe but maybe not.

Level 49

Jan 10, 2025

Tuva wasn't a separate republic of the USSR after its annexation, it was an autonomous republic within the Russian SFSR

You can see the pattern here: 3 Baltic countries, 5 central Asian '-stan' countries, 3 Caucasus region countries, 4 eastern European countries so a total of 15 countries. Pretty easy to memorize.
