The usual rule is to "use common names". "Soviet Union" is the most common term.

Similarly, we use United Kingdom, not "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" (although the latter is a redirect). -- Curps 08:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

And please refrain from Czechoslovakia if you know nothing about it. Pavel Vozenilek 17:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC) your mum know's nothin bout chechoslovakiaPhil is cool 05:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

You were blocked for "shock image" vandalism re: User:Frosty0814snowman/User nerd, which seemed to have been for the purpose of personal attacks on other users. I'll set the block to expire in 48 hours. -- Curps 05:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
