Please, can you help me with facts on the Soviet Union? 
 The Soviet Union was established in December of 1922 with the union of Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian, and Transcaucasian Soviet republics. 
 That is interesting, thank you! Do you have any economic information? 
 Project Socrates determined the Soviet Union addressed the acquisition of science and technology in a manner that is radically different from the United States 
 Hmmm.... I don't fully understand that. Do you have any other information? 
 Yes. Project Socrates was conducted during the Regan administration, and it determined that the Soviet Union had offensively and defensively acquired worldwide technology while preventing the US from gaining a competitive advantage. 
 I'm sure that scared some people! Thank you for that information. I would really like to know if they have any sports teams or the like in the Soviet Union. 
 Of course. The 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki were the first Olympics for Soviet athletes. 
 Cool, do they actively participate in the Olympics still? 
 The Union collapsed in 1991 and athletes now compete representing their individual countries. 
 I feel like I should have known that. Thank you. Do you have any other cool sports facts? 
 Soviet Union's "full-time amateur athelete" put the self-financed amateurs of the Western countries at a disadvantage. 
 That sounds interesting. Do they get paid as amateurs? 
 The Soviet Union's athletes were state-sponsored. 
 Okay, thank you. I think that is enough for now. Thanks again for the help. 
 You're welcome.
