To be fair - Johnny Silverhand we meet is a heavily modified verison. Both memories, personality and (possibly) appearance are altered by someone, who may or may not be Yorinobu Arasaka.

A number of good ones is already mentioned, but one is oddly missing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_from_Prostokvashino There are 3 soviet movies, and one post-Soviet. Ignore the latter. Obligatory animal characters included.

Word (portmanteau) chosen to be denote "Soviets State" is also a derisive one, typically used by those hostile to it. (Perhaps not unlike CPC vs CCP nowadays)
