Soviet Union in video gaming

The Soviet Union, while it dissolved in 1991, played a role in video game development up until that point, although it continued to inspire certain developers well after that point.

Geopolitical
In video games that include factional representation from other nations (real, or fictional), the Soviet Union has almost always been portrayed as an antagonist faction.


 * The Soviet Union features heavily in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series of video games; because Adolf Hitler never rose to power, the Soviet Union became the world's primary antagonistic force.
