So in N-400 instructions it says to use the name of the country of birth at the time it was called and not the modern name

I was born in the USSR(aka Soviet Union) and now it's called Russia

On all my documents it says USSR which is the official name but in the N-400 online form there was no option for USSR but there was the option for Soviet Union which is another common name for USSR

Will this slight discrepancy cause any problems at n-400 interview that on i-485 it was USSR and on n-400 it's Soviet Union?

Both names USSR and Soviet Union are used interchangeably so it's like Great Britain or United Kingdom or UK, something like that

No it won’t cause any problems.  The two names are equivalent.
