This was part of Soviet propaganda to denationalize citizens in Soviet Union republics by claiming them all "Russian" or "soviet people". Actual Russian Federation politics use same but instead of claiming "Russian", Russian propaganda nowadays use term "Russian-speaking" citizens around the world as part of Russian Federation population.
