yeah, probably... as soon as Finland and Sweden dissolve into separate provinces. without any hostility, individual regions of RF cannot form individual states. It will complicate the paying/banking process and will break a lot of economic ties. things that RF ABSOLUTELY DON'T NEED.   while dog might be barking trying to get off the leash, no-one will let it. You really think so? That ethnically pretty uniform nation states like Finland and Sweden (where minorities are treated well) would break up before multinational RF? Well, religion is religion and I'm not about to debate religious issues, but in reality: RF is in real danger to break as did SU. Nothing is really changed, all reasons that caused SU to break still exist in modern RF.    I'm not saying that breaking would be best or wantable solution, I'm just thinking that's the most probable scenario. And it could be an good idea to think how breaking is managed, otherwise we will have giant balkanized situation in Russia.    I like russian culture and I've never met russian I don't like. I'm more adviser than bird of ill omen.
