Riiiight... Any idea why USSR is nowhere on that list, regardless of year? I seem to remember, that it was quite a big player in the world economy, at one point or another.

Check 2011, we were 7th.
Also, 6th in the late 80's - early 90's, according to this particular webpage, except USSR was still a thing at the time. This ranking seems a bit arbitrary and doesn't quite agree with what I'm seeing on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Bank...ies_by_GDP). I'm not saying, that wikipedia is a very reliable source, but at least it knows about Russia's existence...
