Russia has existed long before 1992 (I mean medieval times). It's just that during a large part of the 20th century is was part of the USSR along with other countries. Sorry but had to that clear up.

About the question of which country you are from during the existence of USSR - perhaps it's worth specifying if you are a tadjik or an uzbek, but I don't think anyone would specify Ukraine or Belarus since they're pretty much the same people as russians.

Same here, she's from Kieve. No language classes for me though; she's teaching me herself.
