Russia



The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), also known as the Soviet Union, was a pre-war state in Eastern Europe and Asia. In the Fallout universe, the USSR did not dissolve in 1991, and continued to exist well into the 2000s.

The Soviet Union had a consular service and a foreign service, and had strong consular relations with the United States. There was a Soviet consulate in Los Angeles (the one Natalia's grandfather worked at), suggesting that Soviet-American relations were good enough in 2077 that American and Soviet citizens were able to visit each other's countries. .

During the Resource Wars, the Soviet Union's relationship with the United States was amicable, although it is unknown what role they played in the Great War.
