Alternate Names for Soviet Union

Well, it would kind of depend on the reason for them wanting to use the name USSR. Unless we know that it makes it kind of hard to think of a new one. Though I do think that they could have come up with a more interesting acronym. For example:

If they wanted to strengthen their relationship the the United Staes then they could call themselves the Universal Soviet Association (U.S.A.)
If they were assisted in their revolution by mysterious unexplained forces they could call themselves the Association of Soviet Bolsheviks (A.S.B.)
If they were more interested in Agriculture, they could call themselves the Communist Organization of Red Nations (C.O.R.N.)
If they wanted a constant reminder of where their philosophy came from (and were a bit more racist) they could be the Marxist Association Russian Xenophobes (M.A.R.X.)
If they wanted to start a professional football league they could call themselves the Nation of Freed Labor (N.F.L.)
If they had extreme self-esteem issues (and Trotsky led the revolution rather than Lenin) they could call themselves the Socialist Trotskyite Union of Proletarian Independent Dominions (S.T.U.P.I.D.)
If the revolution suceeded against long odds (and had a bit more of a monarchical attitude) then they could go with Lenin's Union of Communist Kingdoms (L.U.C.K.)

Anyway, that's about all I can think of. ;)

Hey that's pretty good!

Russian Communist Republic
That would indicate very different USSR. IOTL there was pretty heated struggle between "Unionists" (ones advocating "Union of (technically) equal republics") and "Federalists" (who said that all republic should be autonomies of RSFSR and right of secession should not be in the constitution). Unionists won technically (due to Lenin's support and dream of "world revolution" not dead yet, future "Socialist Germany" and "Socialist France" were seen as natural candidates to join the "union of equals"). Stalin (who advocated "Federalist" approach) later won absolute leadership within Party and state, so USSR was largely mold after his ideas of unitarian state, but RSFSR never became "1st among equals".

Socialist Republic of Vserussia?

Something with 'Vserussia' in it, just for the amusement factor of people learning how to pronounce it.

Funny, but does ignore the fact that the acronym is different in Russian (SSSR).

How about Commonwealth of Soviet Socialist Nations?
