	For mentions of Russia in general, see Russia.

The Soviet Union, CCCP, or the USSR was a Pre-War country.

Background[edit]

The Soviet Union was a Communist nation, and had its own national anthem.^[1] The country had a Soviet Consulate established in Los Angeles.^[2]^{[Pub 1]} The country and its ally China, refuted that Captain Carl Bell of the United States was the first human in space.^[3] The AK-47 and its derivatives were utilized by Soviet armies.^[4] On June 16, 2067, P.A.M. was requested to run the "'USSR China Attack' scenario.^[5] A Soviet Satellite crashed outside of Los Angeles.

The Vault Dweller's Survival Guide from Fallout, as well as the game, includes a pregenerated player character, Natalia Dubrovhsky, of Russian descent. She is the granddaughter of a diplomat employed at the Los Angeles Soviet Consulate.^[2]^{[Pub 1]}
The AK47's description mentions Soviet armies.^[4]
In Fallout 3, a Museum of Technology placard notes that the United States credited Captain Carl Bell as the first human in space, despite refutations from the Soviet Union and China.^[3]
During the Resource Wars, the United States utilized P.A.M. to gather statistical data, including information regarding the possibility of an attack by China and the USSR.^[5]
"Sing the Soviet national anthem!" is a possible answer on what to do when hearing communist propoganda on the radio in the Pioneer Scout Camp Terminal Entries in Fallout 76.^[1]
In Fallout 76, a character named Lev is mentioned to be a Soviet mobster.^[6]
