Soviet

There are two main meanings to the word soviet:

Soviet (council) can mean a council of workers, a term that was used from the late Imperial Russia days. After the October Revolution, soviets (councils) became the main form of government at all levels: enterprise, village, city, region, etc., and eventually up to the Supreme Soviet governing the whole USSR.

Hence Soviet became also an adjective meaning of or pertaining to the Soviet Union or its constituent soviet republics and another noun, Soviet, means citizen of the Soviet Union.

Soviet is also the name of an Electropop band.
