Minor side note, soviet isn’t a corruption but a transcription using English ortography. The same word is transcribed as sowiet in Polish, sovět in Czech and sovjet in southern slavic languages.
Major side note is that a country needing to emphasize it’s alleged democratic status in the name usually isn’t democratic.
Fine, as long as it isn’t Soviet.
Minor side note “USSR” / “CCCP” kinda just translates to “democratic union, democratic union, democratic union, democratic union”
Soviet is a corruption of sovet meaning democratic assembly.
how does it translate to “democratic union, democratic union, democratic union, democratic union”???
Sojus Sowjetskich Sozialistitscheskich Respublik - Union of socialist council republics
There isn’t even a single ‘democratic’ in the name, yet alone 4
i was just being wry, not offering a serious translation service
