Sorry Eugene, I disagree. The first C is not a red-herring, but STANDS FOR the Russian word SOYUZ, which means Union

Sojúz Sovétskix Socialistíčeskix Respúblik.

Oh I know - I just meant that "C" doesn't equate to "U". It's the one word in the name where you have to know a bit of Russian, because the word ("Soyuz", as you say), isn't close to it's English equivalent, so a direct Cyrillic to Roman conversion doesn't quite work.
