Each of the republics (to include Russia) had their own soviets, though all were subservient to the Supreme Soviet.
Much of this confusion comes from the fact that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was technically many different republics unified under a single soviet, which was a type of governing council. (It's like a "large animal hospital" - is it a large hospital, or a hospital for animals that are large?) So, he is a commander of a Russian sub, but not a Russian commander of a Russian sub. Except Ramius is Lithuanian, which is a key plot point in his defection. "Common Knowledge": "Sean Connery plays a Russian sub commander". Both are quite well known and well regarded in spite of some notable plot and character differences Hunt for red october reactor meltdown in the book movie#
Broken Base: Don't expect a fast or easy argument between whether the book or the movie is better.Particularly the Soviet-like choirs of "Hymn to Red October" and "Ancestral Aid".
Awesome Music: Courtesy of Basil Poledouris. The novel turned into a surprise bestseller after President Ronald Reagan read it and spoke in favor of it. He finally tried taking it to the Naval Institute Press, for whom he had previously written a number of nonfiction articles, and they agreed to print it as their first-ever foray into fiction. And You Thought It Would Fail: Tom Clancy really struggled to get the book published, dealing with massive publisher disinterest. It could also be said (based on both the book and the film), that the death of Ramius' wife by an incompetent/drunk, Party-connected doctor got him 90-95% of the way there, then seeing the plans for the Red October filled up the defection meter the rest of the way, as he recognized how destabilizing this new sub design would be for world peace. In that context, Ryan's comments about Ramius's wife are more that he no longer has any reason to go back home. Alternative Character Interpretation: The movie seems to imply that the real reason for Ramius defecting was less anger of his wife's death and more concern over the fact that the Red October's primary purpose would be to start a nuclear war due to its stealth.
