It will be interesting to see, when (if) the Russian Empire does break up, in what order it goes.  One would expect the Eastern European satellites to go first, but in fact the first may be some near ‘republic’ (?) (SSR) like Georgia or one of the Middle Eastern ‘republics’ (?) such as the Turkmen or Uzbek.  One would expect the Siberia National Okrugs (whatever they are) and the Far Eastern areas to remain loyal for longer – especially the former.
