Straight from Wikipedia: "The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR or RSFSR; Russian: Российская Советская Федеративная Социалистическая Республика, tr. Rossiyskaya Sovetskaya Federativnaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika About this sound listen (help·info)) commonly referred to as Soviet Russia or simply as Russia". Yes, it was colloquial, but since when does it make it less of a legitimate name?

Sweden is officially called Kingdom of Sweden and (almost) always has been but nobody, not even Swedes, ever call Sweden anything but Sweden. Likewise, people didn't refer to Soviet Russia as The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, they called it Russia or Soviet Russia.

I do not understand why you're both so resistant to calling it Soviet Russia, especially since one of the reason put forth was "It doesn't roll off the tongue" (it does), yet the new name suggestions are far more ridiculous and more annoying to pronounce (unless you were being facetious).
