Anything related to the former Soviet Union, and, to a wider extent, the Warsaw Pact.

The [b]Soviet Union[/b] (1917-1991), officially the [b]Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)[/b], was a vast [[communism|communist]] federated state in what is today [[Russia]] and other adjacent nations with a state ideology of [[Karl Marx|Marxism]]-[[Vladimir Lenin|Leninism]]. The Warsaw Pact was a collective defense treaty created in response to the expansion NATO, led largely in the foreign policy interests of the Soviet Union, including the remaining communist states in Europe of the era, sans [[Yugoslavia]] and, later, Albania, with key world allies such as Marxist-Leninist [[Cuba]], although the tag should not apply to states that did not constitute the Soviet Union.

This tag can refer to a) Soviet-related iconography, such as the [[Hammer and Sickle]], [[Red Star]], Soviet-stylized [[Cyrillic]], [[russian_text|Russian]], or other text; or b) posts that either show a location within the Soviet Union during the period of its existence, or are indicated as being of the general era when the Soviet Union or Warsaw Pact existed (based on architecture, attire, technology, etc.), in which case the post would be tagged with this tag and the respective country tag (if one applies), e.g., like [i]{{soviet russia}}[/i] or [i]{{soviet ukraine}}[/i].
