Soviet Union

The Soviet Union was formed on the 30th of December in 1922. In reality the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 due to internal political and economical problems; however, in the alternate timeline of Prey (2017), the Soviet Union continues its existence as a major world power as far as the early 2030s.

In Prey (2017)
In Prey the Soviet Union launched the Vorona-1 satellite in 1958 in an effort to secure their lead in the space race. The satellite orbited the moon until they lost contact with it, in what was believed to be a communications error. The following manned repair mission ended in catastrophe when the alien lifeforms known as the Typhon attacked the cosmonauts. As a result, the Soviets collaborated with the United States in an effort to contain the new alien threat, which initiated the Kletka Program, a period of joint cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union, from which came the basis of the Talos-1 space station.

Whereas not directly encountered in-game, the Soviet Union and gulags are mentioned as being still active and as a source of "volunteers" whom are used in the fabrication of neuromods. This is attained by feeding them to mimics which are then used for the extraction of exotic material. The father of Mikaela is revealed to have been sent to gulag after questioning the Soviet Union, after which he was sent to Talos-1. How the communist Soviet Union has ties to a private corporation is unknown, but it is both possible and likely they have connections and influence in the Board of directors that control the TranStar corporation.

Trivia

 * The Cook whom is encountered in the Crew Quarters of Talos-1 has a strong distaste for TranStar and it's directors, murdering several of their employees, including an attempted murder of Morgan Yu. He says he is from Ukraine, most likely a part of the communist Soviet Union.
 * The water tanks on water coolers in-game possess russian writing and the text СССР - Russian for USSR, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It is possible the drinking water used aboard Talos-1 is produced in the Soviet Union and sold to the company, indicating a level of trade between East and West.
 * Both the Soviet Union and US are said to have sold off Talos-1 after thinking they went "too far, too fast". It is possible they simply wanted to get rid of the costly and dangerous facility and get a refund for the resources spent on it's building.
