MODERATORS
Wikipedia: it was.
Also, it absolutely was. Sure it was nominally a union of federal republics, but they had very little autonomy from Moscow. If you're going to argue that made the republics independent states, you might as well argue that present day states in Germany or the US are independent countries. They have more autonomy than the Soviet republics had.
