Although the R in USSR did not stand for "Russia" but "Republics," as the USSR was a federation of several countries. Russia in particular was the RSFSR. It would probably be the ASFSR, or TISFSR (American Soviet Federative Socialist Republic or Turtle Island Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) as "America" is made up of many indigenous peoples. A federation as the basis of the socialist state would help with decolonization.
