Not really because The Ussr was a federal state like the US

no, the satellite states had practically no autonomy, to the point where revolts were violently repressed by military sent by the ussr. the modern eu countries outside of germany are fully autonomous and only comply to eu guidelines out of free will, not out of forced compliance.

So it was more similar to the US in terms of each country being in place of the states? For example, when George Wallace said he wouldn't comply with desegregation of schools and JFK sent the national guard to force him to?

Warsaw pact is more comparable, it had far more forced economic integration than NATO ever did.

It's a lie.
Few examples of non-Slavic member of Politburo:
Otto Wille Kuusinen (Finnish)
Arvīds Pelše (Latvian)
Heydar Aliyev (Azerbaijan)

Russian Republic in USSR had less autonomy than other republics.
