Soviet Union

The Soviet Union, also known as the U.S.S.R., was a dictatorship located on the Eurasian continent which existed during the 20th century, defined by its ideology of Communism. The Union fought against the Nazis during World War II, and later opposed the United States (Earth One) during the Cold War. In 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed due to failing economy and crumbling ideology. It was a precursor to capitalist Russia.

1939-1945 : World War II

The Soviet Union was invaded by the Nazis. According to Valentina Vostok, it was reduced to ashes, only to rise again, harder and stronger. At one point, Joseph Stalin, the Soviet dictator, befriended Vandal Savage. Stalin taught Savage a great deal about the methods of torture and gave him a torture device as a present. Although the Justice Society of America members like Amaya Jiwe thought that fighting Adolf Hitler would unite the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the two powers ultimately ended up in a world-spanning rivalry called the Cold War.

As USA's friendship with the Soviet Union ended, the Justice Society continued fighting as what was known as the "Iron Curtain" descended over Central and Eastern Europe. A diplomatic cable from 1956 from the British ambassador warned the JSA about Soviet spies in their midst, leading to President Eisenhower suspecting Todd Rice/Obsidian as the traitor, a suspicion likely biased due to prejudice towards Rice's homosexuality. The team, lacking Rice, was sent into Leipzig, Germany, now under Soviet military control, on a secret mission. They never made it back.

Prior to 1986

According to the Pentagon of the United States (Earth One), Vandal Savage has defected to the Soviet Union. Savage sought to "ignite" the Cold War between the superpowers, pushing the world closer to a global nuclear war. To achieve this, he joined Dr. Valentina Vostok and supplied her research with the information he received due to the actions of time traveling members of Rip Hunter's team – the knowledge of meta-humans, particularly, Firestorm.

1986

Rip Hunter sent Leonard Snart and Ray Palmer on a spy mission, with the goal of deducing important information on the location of Soviet military research facility from Dr. Vostok. This allowed them to discover information about "Operation Svarog", named after a Slavic god of fire. Later the facility was visited by Ray Palmer, Mick Rory and Martin Stein on another espionage mission, only for them to be captured by Mikhail Arkadin and his troops. The prisoners were sent to the Koshmar prison.

At some point in his life after 1986

Anatoly Knyazev became an operative for the KGB, Soviet secret service. According to Knyazev himself, it "taught him many things", particularly information on the workings of landmines.

On December 8th, 1987

The INF Treaty on reducing nuclear arsenals was supposed to be signed between the United States (Earth One)' Ronald Reagan and the Soviet Union's Mikhail Gorbachev. The Union's secret service, the KGB, opposed the treaty, and some of its opportunist agents tried to make a deal with H.I.V.E. leader Damien Darhk, who managed to somehow infiltrate the Reagan Adminsitration the day before. The KGB's deal included a transfer of some artifact for Darhk in exchange for the United States (Earth One) (Earth One)' nuclear codes.

1991

The Soviet Union dissolved due to the crumbling of its ideology and economy. Independent states, such as Ukraine and Markovia had arisen after the Union dissolved. The successor state, Russia, fell under the reign of crooked politicians, with the mafia stronger than ever. Ironically, despite its long existence under the ideology of Communism, by 2013 the situation in Russia was such that, as noted by Anatoly Knyazev, there was nothing in the country that money couldn't buy
