The Soviet Union was established in December 1922 as the union of the Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian, and Transcaucasian Soviet republics ruled by Bolshevik parties.
In contrast to the revolutionary spirit that accompanied the birth of the Soviet Union, the prevailing mood of the Soviet leadership at the time of Brezhnev's death in 1982 was one of aversion to change.
The Soviet Union occupied the eastern portion of European continent and northern portion of Asian continent.
The Our Ukraine Bloc is most closely associated with the Orange Revolution and continues to use orange as its political colour.
The "Our Ukraine" bloc was soundly defeated in the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election with only 13,94% of the recorded vote came in third place behind Yulia Tymoshenko (22%) and Party of Regions (33%).
