Persepolis-U.S.S.R.+(57)

2ndBlock

The U.S.S.R., also called the Soveit Union, is a conbination of Russia, Belarus, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Moldova, Ukraine, and 6 others. It was a superpower during the Cold War, the other was the U.S.A. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is what the USSR stands for, it like Marji's Grandpa was a communist country, and turned not only China but Korea into a communist. It was the successer to the Russian Empire. Its capitol was Moscow.

I belive it was in the book because Marji Uncle Anoosh was in hiding in the USSR. This is the reason I came up with. If you have a better one please let me know.
