I believe the answer is:

ussr

(Other definitions for ussr that I've seen before include "Former association of communist republics" , "Former Soviet Union" , "Former union of socialist republics" , "Country established in 1922 and dissolved in 1991, in short" , "Former soviet states" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
