"More than 100 nations and nationalities live in the USSR."

A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life and culture.[1] Some nations emerged and began to constitute themselves into nation-states during the transition from feudalism to capitalism, specially in Europe.[1] Other nations instead predate the capitalist mode of production, specially outside of Europe.[citation needed] Nations have the right to self-determination, which may consist of independence or autonomy within a larger state.[2]
