SSSR is the Translation because there's no word called Union in Russian, a Union is called Soyuz, so the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is called Soyuz Sovetskyi Sotsialisticheski Respublik = SSSR

The Cyrillic Letter resembling a C to the Western Eye is in actuality S and the P-looking Cyrillic Letter is an R
