*Are there any other countries you think could break up in a near future?* Important note: At 7:40 and 8:10 I accidentally mentioned the percentages of the 1926 census instead of the 2010 ones. My mistake - I'm sorry! I'll be more attentive next time so that I don't make this type of mistakes.
Spain, Romania (Hungary pumps lots of cash into the Transilvanian zones where hungarians live to get them on Orban's side - I know it's more political but that doesn't change the possibility), UK
You made a mistake regarding Karelia, only 7,4% are ethnic Karelians. You used the figure from 1926 rather than the census of 2010. Seems unlikely that such a small minority could force separation
If it was made independent perhaps Karelians in Finland may want to return? Also Finish Karelia could be ceded to them making Karelia less Russian. Plus there may be many who just put Russian in the census but may be Karelians that are culturally Russian or people who don't know their ancestors were mostly Karelians and so identify as Russian. Additionally some ethnic Russians with no connections to the region may wish to move to Russia Proper in such a scenario.
@ The part of the Soviet Union that was current day Russia was a federation, RSFSR, just like it still is. The USSR itself was a union of which the RSFSR was the main constituent.
An interesting detail about Dagestan - it is a multinational region itself. Just google Dagestan ethnicities map. There are more than 10 nationalities living there, besides the ethnic Russians, who are a minority there. These nationalities also have some tensions between them for centuries. Chechnya and Ingushetia even had an armed territorial dispute between them, even though they belong to the same Vainakh people. Trust me guys, when it comes down to multiculturalism, Russia is a true rabbit hole. But somehow all these peoples manage to get along with each other. Historically infrastructure and economy is so tightly tied together, that breaking up these chains would be extremely painful for all sides involved. Russia is like a living symbiotic organism, where all sides need each other to survive. Like an ecosystem in the forest. All those fantasies about some region going independent will be crushed under the harsh reality of economy and logistics.
@@herptek The US seems to have benefitted tremendously from diversity, proving countries are only imaginary constructs. In reality there is only one country and one ethnicity; Earth and humanity.
@@I-Nex Educate me about Putins politics, oh wise one. Russia is a carcass of revolutionary communist tyranny that inherited a gigantic multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, continent spanning empire.
I think after napoleon and German unification broke the idea of city-states. Not entirely but in a modern world its extremely hard to survive if trying to be diplomatic to outside powers or economic conditions. You'd either need to be on the coastline like Venice or survive for so long it's impossible to imagine a world without them like Vatican was or the city of London is today
Yeah, Singapore is basically the closest equivalent to modern-day Venice. Other than them, other city-states are basically almost irrelevant and exist under the mercy of the regional powers around them, like Vatican, Monaco, Liechstenstein or Hongkong. But they are quite prosperous tho.
i mean they still exist just look at singapore, monaco, macau or hongkong. I actually think that they could become far more common in the future in a world which is moving away from the free market. Trading leagues and tax havens make for a good recipie for city states to thrive.
If they are inside polical/economic block like the EU, a city state should work because they would have the legal/economic/military protection of the rest of the members in case of abuse from an external power.
I don't want to see Russia broken up. I want to see it start to make the most of its peoples' potential and to stay the hell inside its own more than ample borders.
I feel as though Russia has a chance of splitting into east and west russia. Moscow and St Petersburg are litterally DIFFERENT WORLDS compared to how 90% of the rest of russia lives. Alot of russians outside of moscow and st petersburg complain about how these cities take all the tax money and never invest it anywhere else
One contradicts the other. The British empire was the last one to break up, partially due to complexity management challenges that hold development back.
Excellent. Our aspirations completely coincide with you. We, Russians, also want to stay within our own borders, and forget like a terrible dream about how whole huge chunks of territories that historically belonged to us are falling off from our country. Like Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan.
@@BarmaglotBatkovich Russians have been magnificently failing in the aspiration to stay within their current borders for a long time, maybe focus on that.
Thank you for the great video! A little correction if I may: Turkic is pronounced “Tur-kick”, not “Tur-kich”, and Daghestan’s “gh” is a hard g as in garden.
My family is half daghestani it is originally called "Dağıstan", with Turkish soft g. Means land of mountains. So your correction "Tur-kick" is right, but g is a soft g in Daghestan.
@@AB-ni8cv I know exactly how the g is pronounced in Dagestani or Turkish. But that soft g sound does not exist in English. I was only talking about the standard English pronunciation of the word Dagestan. In English, it’s pronounced with a hard g, where as in the video it was pronounced as j like Dojestan which is incorrect. BTW, as you also mentioned, the -ic in Turkic is pronounced like ick which is the same prefix for a variety of adjectives denoting broad ethnic or cultural groups such as Germanic, Italic, Slavic, etc.
@@johnsarkissian5519 if you can (physically) pronounce it according to it's original name, you should do it It is a big trend in English language nowadays
The Asian part of Russia is huge but virtually empty, except for a thin strech of land in the south along the borders with Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China. It could literally house the entire human population on Earth and not be overpopulated.
good point! one issue though... the Asian part of Russia is mostly uninhabitable!!! You literally can't produce food there. edible plants don't grow there and it's also too cold for cows, pigs and chicken. Although... I guess the climate change can make it habitable....
The problem with this video is that the ratio of indigenous peoples and visitors is taken a hundred years ago, I have a national region at my side, with a second state national language, with benefits and quotas for the indigenous population. What do you think how many of this indigenous population? Less than 10%. Will they revolt and secede? Firstly, there are few of them, and secondly, they will lose all benefits. This will never happen.
the problem of video is that it is focusing only on minorities, but not takes into account that some Russian would also want independence from Moscow for economical reasons. Most of the regions are treated like colonies, when federal government takes all the resources and gives back a little amount just to survive. Also Russians constantly living in ethnic Republic are more or less culturally closer to the minority, often they know the language, traditions and this makes them distant from Russians of `Russia proper`.
@@nikolaia.9573 They don’t know, there are not so many minorities even in national regions, and even these minorities already have little knowledge of their language and traditions, they maintain minority status in order to receive benefits, this is noticeable in schools for minorities, there is no attendance, but according to surveys, indigenous people.
So you are confirming the ethnic abuses committed against indigenous minorities in Russia, where they have been decimated & oppressed to a minority status with tattered cultural heritage?
So, as a person living in Russia, I can say that the probability of the collapse of Russia is very small. Separatism has been minimal in our country since the end of 2000. But in the nineties, under Yeltsin, the situation was bad. There was a so-called "parade of sovereignties". This is a phenomenon when some subjects of Russia began to demand more autonomy. For example, Tatarstan or the Ural Republic. These "states" could hardly gain real independence, since they had no borders with anyone except Russia and did not even have access to the sea. Also, you probably heard about Chechnya, two wars took place there, it tried to separate from Russia. But after Putin's arrival, the centralization of power began, Chechnya returned to Russia, and the "parade of sovereignties" was over. This was probably done thanks to the privileges and guarantees of the elites of these subjects. Now the separation of these entities is unlikely, since they have a more or less good economic situation. (Not everywhere). For example, Chechnya was restored after devastating wars and now it is a fairly developed region of Russia. The peoples living in the republics are not infringed, but on the contrary, they are given various benefits. In all republics, in addition to the Russian language, there is a second regional language. For example, there are three languages in Crimea: Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar. And although less than a percent of the Crimean Tatar population uses Crimean Tatar, citizens have the right to speak and study in this language and no one will forbid it. Therefore, it is absolutely unprofitable for the republics to separate for whatever cultural reasons. The preservation of the culture of small nations is a distinctive feature of Russia's expansion. The Russians did not exterminate the indigenous peoples, like the Spaniards or the British, who exterminated the Indians. Joining was something like this: "Guys, we are joining you. You will pay us taxes. But we will not destroy your culture. Believe in your gods and speak your own language." But still there were clashes with the locals, but they did not acquire the character of genocide, as in America. An interesting fact: when serfdom was in Russia (this was when peasants were exploited at about the level of slavery), it spread mainly in central Russia and did not affect indigenous peoples. To sum up, we can imagine the following variant of the collapse of Russia: we are losing to Ukraine in the war and it reaches the borders of 1991. Because of this, Russia is becoming weaker. The conditional pro-Western Yeltsin 2.0 comes to power and a new "parade of sovereignties" begins. Chechnya as the most unstable region and probably some other republics of the Caucasus are dissatisfied with what is happening and decide to secede from Russia. Japan is given the Kuriles and probably Sakhalin. Kaliningrad could theoretically be given under the protection of Poland, Germany or the Baltic States, although due to the fact that the communists resettled many Russians there, it would be difficult, so instead of being directly incorporated into some European country, Kaliningrad could become a fourth Baltic country. Some small disputed territories may be ceded to Finland and China. It is unlikely to imagine that Russia will break up into more countries than I have described. It is likely that the remaining republics will require more autonomy and the Russian Federation will turn into a confederation without part of the Caucasus, Kaliningrad and some other territories.
What a load of propaganda bullshit!! You have a very twisted view of history. Stalin exterminated thousands of indigenous people. War criminal Putin is responsible for the deaths of 260,000 men, most of them from ethnic minority groups. Russia already had a low birth rate now there is NO future for any kind of "Russian Federation". The Russian Federation is a terrorist state and will be disarmed, dismantled and be held responsible to rebuild Ukraine for many, many, many years to come.
I would have appreciated one or two extra maps. You covered the political and cultural realities. A map of the petroleum resources and a map of mineral resources would have been nice. You covered where natural fissures might occur, so identifying obvious lines for resisting fissure would have been nice. I understand that it was not in the scope of this project, but the lack of that information limits the value of what you did present.
I live in the autonomous region (Ugra). By nationality, I have Russian and Ukrainian-Polish roots. I have an Azerbaijani friend, he is in a large family and he never spoke about the disunity of Russia, in some ways he is even a patriot of Russia. In the school where I study there are many children who are not Russian or have mixed roots (30-40% of the school students) and they are in excellent contact with me. The government of the region is focused on partnership and creation of all conditions for the development of the small indigenous people of Khanty. Even the city itself, the capital of the region, is called Khanty-Mansiysk. You might think that assimilation is bad, but in America such a society has already been built.
Please, take some time (it won't consume much, by the way) to travel around the region and see what the land around the oil fields really looks like and listen to what the indigenous peoples actually have to say. Study the statistics on how the life has changed there during the last century. Go to the library and request for the documents on the process of the region's land development. It's not all fairytails and ponies as you're trying to describe it here. As far as I see, education in Yugra is extremely bad even by this time if you find your argumentation to be valid or reasonable.
@@Dungshoveleux It always amazed me how us, the Western Siberians, have been keeping loyalty to the muscovites regarding the fact that they call us offensive slurs such as 'churkas' and 'deerkeepers'.

Do a video on what if Czechoslovakia reunited. What the current ethnic group make up would be? The nation's GDP? What their biggest imports and exports would be? Etc.
This has been a long time dream of westerners to divide Russian Federation, but I am expert in this issue and can assure you that none of national Republics would break away in near pair hundreds of years. My expertise derives from my origin: my father is Yakut and my mother is Altai, I was born and lived in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), I studied in Yekaterinburg in Ural in university and now I live in Republic of Altai. Since 2000 I have researched and studied opinions on national separatism in Russia and my conclusion is that nowadays there is no separatist movements and wont be for a long time. People here understand that the moment separation occurs - that would be the end for nations, since there are own elites inside regions, many neighbouring nations with their own interests, aversions towards each other, cultural and religious differences. The only way to live in peace and survive is to be gathered together by strong undisputable center, such as ethnical Russians (who are mostly mixed and having different nationalities heritage, btw). Usually people of different nationalities call themselves Russians meaning that they belong to one country - Russia, and only after that they differentiate into nationalities. If we take Yakutia as an example and try to imagine what happens in the case of separation that would be a complete disaster: the only steps needed to send Yakutia into stoneage is to shut down heating producing plant and stop fuel transporation to that region. And civilization disappears. Moreover to the south is Buryatia, and they are completely different nation with own religion, culture, interests and elites. And conflict starts. As an another example are Altai and Tyva, the same picture. So I have to conclude that separation seems impossible for me in near future and long-term. P.S. Also you have to understand that Russians did not act towards local nations same as Americans towards indians, or British towards indians, or Europeans and Americans towards Africans. Local nations in Russia are on the same level with ethnical Russians having all freedoms and rights such as using own language, keeping traditions and culture, even having own constitutions, etc.
Your P.S. is really funny (I got your sarcasm). Also yeah I agree that there is unfortunately no real chance to divide Russia and a lot of enslaved people will continue suffering. It's such a pity
@@aaademed Yeah... unless the Russian Federation was forced to break up into several (or even many) independent sovereign nations by Western nations because of Russia in invading neighbouring countries like Ukraine.
interesting stuff ! i for one would be interested in a city states video - whether its the history of, why they arent common anymore, or just modern ones that have stuck around !
Yeah, he sparked my curiosity about that, too. I've never studied much human geography, just physical. But after following politics a few years, well... got interested in the people stuff, too.
There is multiple issues witht his video, nowadays if the ethnicity represent minorities in Russie is because of mixity. Actually it's not that simple to find 100% russians, if you ask anyone who is his grandparents, you will usually find 2 to 4 different ethnicities, and maybe more. So talking about minority or majority is somehow not usefull in Russia in terms of culture. The governement is trying to keep the different cultures through tradition. I, myself , am from Tomsk, a city in the Tomsk Oblast, Siberia, and I'm a mixity of russian , belorus, crimean, jewish, and even african. My father is muslim while my mom is orthodoxe. Cultural differences won't affect Russia as it is now, except the European part, as we see with ukrain. There are separatists, but there are way more imperialists, and even more communists. You also forgot other ethnicities that came long ago to Russie, greeks, romans (byzantinians), turks etc...The unity of Russia is quite important is our country. Transport: well there is the transiberian. Infrastructure, I can't see how it could lead to separatism, as even non independant oblasts deal itself with local problematics. Separation of a Krai is the most unlikely to happen, as it will end up isolated, and won't have enough rresources to be autonomnius, due to population density.
You make good points but the reason for the mixing is due to in large part from the USSR and its policies. USSR was trying to be cunning by doing this to suppress the likelihood of rebellion. So the people of Russia were being controlled. To get around this, even though you may have mixing of the blood/ethnicities, you have to look at the percentages of who identifies as Russian by ethnicity and also look at the political situation in regions like Dagestan, Chechnya, and Tuva/Tyva Republics. If the vast majority does not identify as Russian and want out, then they should be allowed independence. Otherwise, Russia is forcing their power onto these groups of people. Unity is good for Russia but that isn't unity when you are controlling those who don't want to identify as Russian.
@@JTBCOOL1 Nowp, actually the USSR politics was quite the opposite, there is one man actually that went beyond all of that, Staline, through deportation, and actually that's how my crimean grandmother met my russian grandfather at Tomsk. Russia is not about being ethnical russian: in russian language we have 2 different words, ruski for ethnical russian and rossiyanin for the passport. The identity problem actually is more relevent in Europe and US, due to ethnical diversity through immigration. That's the thing, you take western point of views and copy paste it into eastern ways. It doesn't work like that.
The idea of a large county is superficially attractive, but after hundreds of years of dysfunction, corruption, famine, war, and tyrannical abuses... why would anyone want to be part of such a country? This latest gross aggression by the Kremlin Russia is increasingly accumulating hatred against the term Russian, even in propaganda infused third world country's they are recognizing the suffering from global dysfunction that accompanies this conflict...
@@oranaro9000 So by mixing tribes or ethnic backgrounds, understandably, you create one peoples. Uniting, I get it. That makes sense. But Stalin didn't do it for the benefit of the people but the state. It makes sense because that is what happens. The issue here is, there are regions in Russia even after multiple decades of unification still do not identify as Russians and want to be independent. At this point, you have to think and acknowledge that maybe some regions should be independent. Especially if there have been wars waged like in Grozny. Let the people speak and declare their freedom. This is democracy. This is the correct way. Not communism where the state wants to at times forcibly unite under the guise of unification.
@@oranaro9000, as an Italian living in Russia, I can just confirm your words. When I lived in Amsterdam or Antwerpen, there was a neighborhood where everybody was Jewish, with typical Jewish costume; suddenly you crossed the road and everybody was Muslim; then, in the following neighborhood everybody was African, and so on. These community do not visibly interact with each other. In saint Petersburg there is nothing such as a Jewish neighorhood or a Muslim or Uzbek or Tatar neighborhood. My father-in-law has Germans roots, my mother-in-law has Polish, Armenian and Lithuanian ancestry, the uncle of my wife is a muslim Tatar and her wife is half Jewish. When I came to their place, he had a green scarf with the Muslim faith profession in Arabic, wrapped around a Lenin statue; then, he started to prepare dinner: sausages, vodka and thing I did not expect from a Muslim. In the end, there is the idea that everybody share the same fate. Nobody showed me any hostility because I was Italian, even if my country invaded Russia in WW2 and now is taking part in sanctions. I felt far more racism in the Netherlands, they treated me as a savage just because the place I came from.
The lack of infrastructure in central and eastern Russia is due to the climate, not lack of money or disorganization. The climate is so extreme that it would destroy the roads fairly quickly or almost anything.
@Imaginary Unicorn Harsher climate in Norway? Are you for real? Lmao Go learn some of the extreme wheather in Russia. I think I watched this on a documentary, it's impossible to build and maintain roads in most of the russian territory because the cost to maintain them would be extremely high due to VERY LOW populated areas which means this maintenance would have to come from very far away, probably thousands of kilometers and just 1 winter would probably be enough to destroy the roads.
@Imaginary Unicorn !??? Did you even read anything what I said? It's impossible to build roads in russian eastern territory because of logistics and extreme wheather!
@Imaginary Unicorn Try seeing things in the way you were not instructed to see, you might unlearn lies and learn something good as well as trainning your critical thinking.
I'm impressed how both high-quality and low-quality the video is. From one hand the author did a great job researching all these maps. On the other hand he didn't cover the topics that are obvious for every Russian: - existing separatism movements. Firstly, it's Caucasus, especially Chechnya that had 2 wars 20 years ago. Secondly, it's Turkic areas like Tatarstan, Bashkiria and so on: relatively rich area with the biggest minority in Russia divided from Kazakhstan with Orenburg corridor only - poorly connected far-east areas that sometimes have more economic relations with neighbours (China, Mongolia, Japan) than with Moscow, especially Khabarovsk and Vladivostok - territorial claims from the other countries. Russia has conquered too much in the past so you have somewhat implicitly contested territories with Finland, Estonia, Ukraine (especially now), Kazakhstan, Japan - current economical model. Considering it, Moscow is never interested in being independent, haha While having the mentioned above listening to Jewish Autonomous Oblast (that's not Jewish, not Autonomous, and not Oblast - like HRE) to be separated... That's hilarious
Industrial society (either communist or capitalist) strongly compels integration of complementary areas. Commodities of daily life are largely imported to the "ethnic" areas. Current population would be decimated. Another approach is to turn back the clock to before the Russian empire integrated all these territories/populations/cultural groups. Viable subdivisions of RF would have to center on distribution points that can support life, or on extant neighboring countries that can nurse these proto-states along. E.g. Chechnya et al, western Siberia, Mongolia/Baikal region, the far east and northeast, the far north and Novgorod, the Caspian steppes/Volga basin, pskov, Moscow, st Petersburg. But the thing is--we don't know if there is any regional identity among the overwhelming Russian majority that can outweigh the centuries of integration and dependency. Contrast with provinces of western Canada, which do have strong identity, global integration, and are in dialog with their First Nations minorities.
@@nathanlowry3764 because culturally and historically, they are closer to their neighbors than to the russians. What do buryats and chechens have in common?

It's not a coincidence, the United States wants Russia to break up. It's easier to steal to smaller and weaker countries.
Several arguments are presented why the bulk of the Russian Federation is unlikely to break up. One argument not presented is the risk of becoming a client state, if not being fully absorbed by an increasingly powerful and expansionist China.
7:40 Man, are you serious? These are a CENTURY old data. There are 30% of Burats in Buratia, and only 49% of Sakhas(or Yakuts) in Skha(Yakutia). You are relying on extremely outdated statistics.
City states were made obsolete with the advent of modern nations. There's no logical reason for them to exist today. And "because I want to" is not a valid reason.

It's not a big loss economically, but geo-strategic it's a real disaster. This is in the overseas region that France has the second largest EEZ on the planet. The French overseas regions have no raw material, low demographics, nothing thrilling in the event of separation.

You can thank Stalin for that, he wanted credit for being 1930s woke by making a Jewish homeland, but he also wanted it as far away as possible from the centers of Soviet power.
Yeah, there is nothing Jewish about it any more. They just don't bother to change the name and rearrange administrations in case it were to be absorbed into surrounding territory. It's a failed Soviet project.
Yeah, well, it's just randomly drawn on the map and it was never in no way Jewish tbh. I'm surprised how channel author don't even talk about Pskov, Novhorod and other regions with independent history and history of (lost) fights with Moscow for independence but sees a potential in that completely randomly made up enclave to be 2nd Israel :D
Those censuses don't include the people from the lost Finnish lands, except in the 1959 one when a lot of lost Finnish lands had been incorporated into the Karelo-Finnish SSR and later Karelian ASSR, which were mostly settled by Russians anyway since literally everyone had left. The 400 000 Finnish Karelian refugees who fled to Finland in WW2 were Lutheran Finns speaking southeastern Finnish dialects and not Orthodox practicing eastern Karelians who inhabited and still inhabit eastern Karelia AKA the Karelian Republic.
@@indijanacdzon8416 genocide of ingrian finns, russification of finland, and I also suggest looking into soviet massive deportations chronology - Karelians were expelled (usually to Central Asia) in 30s and 40s. Those territories were then repopulated by Russians and that's in general how "always historically Russian" territories like Crimea are born. Russia, being an empire, was (and keep on) always destroying ethnic minorities. You shouldn't be surprised by such facts in history of any land occupied by Moscow since 1450. But it's not Moscow thing, it's true for any empire, it's just the nature of imperialism. England did that while they were empire, France, Spain, etc. It's in a human nature when it comes down to empire. I'd rather be surprised to hear and asked for sources if it was about empire that didn't do it.

Kaliningrad is an interesting topic. Used to be a German territory, with an entirely German population of 250,000. During the end of WW2, Stalin forced the German population out, and into East Germany. It's why it never and probably will never, break away from Russia.
@@MeelisPaas This would be interesting (I am from Kaliningrad). A country as large as Russia is kind of unnatural. It's hard to connect people, and hard to believe you're a citizen of a land which is 7000 km away. But it would not be easy to survive as such a small country with not a lot of resources. And we wouldn't join our neighbours. For example Poland - I like visiting it. But be a part of it?.. The majority of Polish people are Catholic Christians. The majority of people in Kaliningrad are non-believers. Some are Orthodox Christians. People in Poland tend to wake up insanely early, while here we wake up later and go to bed later. Not to mention there's not a lot of people willing to give up Russian language and cyrillic script.
Aah...the Russians planting their people in other peoples lands. A familiar story which has given us a war in Europe at the moment. Mind you, they pale compare to the planting of English/Britons around the world.
truly is! It's shores in the Caspian Sea are gorgeous and its mountains are stunning. Plus the local culture is beautiful. It's an Islamic province in Russia and has a unique culture
What if usa broke up? What if the english returned Northern ireland to Irish? What if they let Scotland and Wales go? What if france broke up? What if italy broke up? What if Kurdistan was formed? What if romanians returned hungarian territory?
Most majority Hungarian territory in Romania would be an enclave , it's far from the border with Hungary. There are areas in the NW, between Oradea and Satu Mare, that have a Hungarian majority, that would be about 200 thousand people. Why bother, it's either an enclave or a too small area. Kind of like the majority Romanian area in Ukraine, though that's more like 400 thousand people.
@@Italian-Royalist yes, esp. b-cuz many in the south wanted a return to the old Kingdom of Two Sicilys monarchy instead of central/northern dominated republic.
Idk if someone mentioned it, but the only reason you don't want Russia to break up, at least completely is due to the fact that nuclear arsenal will also split between "states". As of this day, as I see it, under circumstances of break up the states are too prone to end up with autocratic regimes which would result in even worse scenario than if the russia remain "united". Russia needs much stronger federalism with lots of taxes staying in the parts where they've been gathered
Yeah, funny to see here these western dudes waiting for the break up of country which managed to avoid this for more than a 1000 years, while they live on this planet only for a blink
I suspect far east can't exactly separate that easily, considering the vast majority of farmland and other kind of food supply are located in the westernmost regions. Even if all those regions separated they're still kinda would be dependent.
My family is from the Far East. While the soil is not the best where we come from, my family grew everything themselves for generations, food was never an issue. So it is possible to grow food enough for the Far East there. Plus, we have plenty of fish and seafood. Seperation from Moscow for the Far East is possible and hopefully will happen one day🙏
@@nicazhu6131 one family or maybe even a small village is incomparable to an entire population sadly. Who's gonna feed those who live in industrial cities with no own land? With all due respect, i doubt you guys only eat frozen fish. A separation isn't gonna be a fun experience. Look how Britain feels about brexit now.
You forgot one very important factor. Regions with large amount of natural resources (for example Yamalo-Nenetskiy autonomy district), like oil and gas have more chances for economical independence and consequently have more chances for real independence
Are you a teenager? Regions with lots of riches but no ability to defend themselves /no ability to make it into a business are going to be indeoendent😅. Yeah!!! I love unicorns too
Nah, I don't think so that Russia would break up they don't even use dialects everyone uses the same Russian and historically Siberia was with Russia for a long time, and it were the Russians to develop there by sending exiles. Even Kazakhstan didn't really want independence from the Soviet because they were together for a long long time
Я если честно, почему-то хочу заметить такой момент. Если сравнивать горожанина из Новосибирска и из Москвы, можно заметить, насколько более религиозным является Москвич. Есть несколько регионов, где нерелигиозных людей больше половины. Например вышеупомянутый Новосибирск имеет 25% атеистов, и 35% деистов, и всего-лишь 25% православных. Есть даже мнение такое, что большинство православных России - православные атеисты, что-то вроде культурного патриотизма.
Што. В Москве религиозные? Каждый первый отвечает не на вопрос "Верите ли вы в Бога как православный?" а на вопрос "Вы православный, мусульманин или католик?" Даже будучи убежденным атеизмом, я отвечу что православный.
@@whythefuckineedhandle Там опрос был про православие и воцерковлённость. Формулировка опроса оч точная. Москва реально более религиозна, чем некоторые области в сибири и дальнем востоке. Вообще вроде самый нерелигиозный регион где-то на дальнем востоке находится. Вспомнить только, ситуацию, когда бизнесмен из Новосиба приехал в Москву с парикмахерской под названием "Детская пыточная", в которой что-то сатанинское обнаружилось только когда чел приехал в Москву, и когда к нему завалилась группа православных активистов с бабками. Тем временем в родном городе всем было либо плевать, либо все понимали юмор, что дети не любят стричься, потому "ха-ха-ха". Это конечно не особо выборка, но яркая штука, что в столице вообще существуют такие организации, и для кого-то сатанизм - не какой-то прикол, а что-то звучащее угрожающе.
the thing is that in the end those will simply become tiny states that would find it exceedingly difficult to sustain themselves without the help from the federal budget and will end-up having to rely on foreign aid anyway becoming ether chinese puppet states or broke backwaters, even the ones who have alot of natural resources, like sakha due to their low population and vast territory will end-up being "colonised" by foreign companies, be it russian, western or chinese in the end its always the same story, u grab all ya can without a single care for the natives. there is no good future for those tiny states wether they will stay with russia or leave it.
@Imaginary Unicorn yea... How unfortunate for them to them to still be sitting in prison... Very sad yea. I still think my country is much much better of as a federation though and I'm glad it won't brake away
@Imaginary Unicorn Russians massacred most of the natives? Huh ok. But what your country did to your natives in US? Tell us about that now bcs you love to preach about history of others.
@Imaginary Unicorn all i can see is the monopoly of natural resources through the corrupt hands of small weak countries, this bullshit plan is not pursuing a better life for the people there but trying to steal resources without any problem. it is better to be one strong Big Unit than to be hundreds of Small Parts full of Ego and Despair.
Okay, at this point you've broken up Russia and China despite all the horrific consequences, you now need to break up the other modern empire-the United States.
The USA is too integrated. The way a country breaks up is part of the country wants to leave. There are no states that want to leave the USA anymore. No matter how hardcore some GOP states are, their economy would be crushed in a second without California and New York. Even states like Texas couldn't leave the USA because cities like Austin and Houston drive the economy in the state. I would love to get into a place where the USA can throw out welfare states like Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama and Mississippi...but they would never leave.
@@PeterSedesse I think you're right that no part of the United States is seriously interested in secession. There are small independence movements in Hawaii and Puerta Rico and there are a few Garveyists out there, but by-and-large Americans are satisfied to be Americans and any attempts to break away would be quickly and determinedly suppressed. The same could be said about both Russia and China, but they made "What-if" videos about their dissolution. I don't think either one of those countries is likely to fall apart. But if the exercise in speculation is legitimate for China and Russia, it's equally legitimate for the United States.

Don't you worry. Russia won't break apart soon.

Russia is a very diverse country of more than 140 nationalities. They have kept together through thick and thin. I on't think they are going to break up at all.
Who are you Americans to decide how a foreign country should be, divided or united!!! Haven't you had enough dividing countries creating more crises and chaos all around the world?
Missed the most important factor: Economics. Money. My understanding is that it is these outlying areas that have the natural resources but are kept poor and dependent while the money all flows to Moscow to fight Pootin's wars.
The 2 main divisions are Russian conservatives vs Moscow liberals (just like US but not as splitting as geographically splitting as in US) and Russians vs Caucuses- ethnic tension there.

I think that the US breaking up is more likely than Russia breaking up. Regardless, a bunch of giant countries are gigantic due in large part to having a lot of thinly populated land. That very much includes Canada and Australia along with the the United States and western parts of China.
You guys are crazy. US states have much more dependence on each state than Russia. It would never be possible nor mutually negotiable to have independent states in NA. On the other hand, Russia could easily colapse, because noone in Vladvastok could care less about Moscow than themselves. Maybe they want to become free? Maybe embrace korean heritage or chinese? Who knows! Moscow and St. Petersburg are filthy rich, while all the east Russia is living paycheck by paycheck.
Most of us are are from Russia's Europe and Northern Asia, not Central Asian countries you mentioned below hah. Yes, we Turkic people, but we are Russians as well (not ethnic, politically and culturally)
Remember, those current republics that made up Russia Federation today agreed to stay together even in the hardest time of the Federation in the 20th century ( the 90s). There are many reasons for them to stay together: _Many regions rely on donation from other regions in the federation to keep their economy from collapsing. Being independent for them isn't a privilege but rather a disaster . For example the Tuva republic , very few Russian live there but because the economic benefits they chose to remain, after all Tuva is very poor on both natural resources and intellectual resources, it is better for them to rely on someone else. _Many ethics don't know how to operate a state on their own, all they want are to keep preserving their way of living as well as practicing their religions . So as long as the federal government take all the burden of making policies and avoid interfering with their way of life then they wouldn't leave. _ For the Caucasus regions, leaving the Federation would immediately result in endless conflict and civil war, after all the Caucasus is very ethnicly divided, without a federal government, everyone would care only about the interest of their ethnicity .After seeing all the mess and conflicts going on between Armenian and Azerbaijan, Georgian, Ossetian, Abkhazian, I would say the whole Caucasus will be destablize as soon as the federal government management's ceased to exist.
@Imaginary Unicorn How easy it is for you to talk about a country in which you have not even been, apparently you have not read serious reports on it, even against the backdrop of Europe, Russia is not the worst country, it is richer in terms of GDP per capita than 15 other European countries, has medicine in the average sample in Europe, has resource independence, has social support that is not available in many European countries, watch fewer bloggers and read more serious articles from international organizations. In the end, even now, fighting with Ukraine, in the Russian Federation, less opposition is planted in the minds of people, per 1000 of the population, than in European countries that are not supposed to be in this conflict naturally, that's what you need to know about freedom of speech in Europe. Democracy? Parties are allowed in the Russian Federation, if you want, you can create your own. The government does not care about its people? And what is happening right now in Germany, when from the TV screens, the head of the German Foreign Ministry, Burbock. statements that "aid to Ukraine will be transported, as it can be, and it doesn't matter what the Germans themselves think," that's where the structures don't care about the people, did you get new prices for utilities? Now you will declare that Russia attacked Ukraine, and I will ask, in which country, as a result of the attack, are the most refugees from Ukraine? That's what it is, in the Russian Federation. Strange war? What is really going on there? Well, for example, back in 2014, Ukrainian planes fired missiles at the center of the city of Luhansk, CNN has videos about this. Or Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula, 2 million people, 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers with tanks, artillery, warehouses and a dozen bases. Captured by evil Russians from 20 thousand people with machine guns, without loss, is not it surprising? Doesn't it make you wonder what's wrong? And if I say that only 28 thousand left the Crimea, and the rest went to the service of the Russian Federation? Why did they do it? Or from fresh, rebellious Donetsk bombarded with anti-personnel mines from Ukraine, women, children, civilians. Here it is Ukraine, already 8 years. Or the shelling of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, just because it is on the territory of the liberated coralition and feeds their areas. And the fact that there is not a single Ukrainian in the protection of the President of Ukraine clearly speaks of his relationship with the people of Ukraine. So think about how much propaganda you pour. Read serious sources and analyze for yourself.

Famous "red" states like Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas still have sizable blue enclaves, and "blue states" like California, Washington, and New York have large rural enclaves.

У нас три города федерального значения. Москва, Петербург и Севастополь! Это как по факту, а не как вам хочется думать. И в целом, "распад России" - это лишь ваши нереалистичные мечты. Все регионы России интегрированы в единую экономическую систему, отдельно они не смогут существовать, да и зачем? С чего бы нам распадаться, никого в правах не ущемляют, у нас вообще не сильно акцент на национальности делается. Мы живём так, как это исторически сложилось, нас связывает и экономика, и история. Многие малые народы постепенно ассимилируются, и это естественный процесс - например, смешанные браки способствуют (про коми, например, можете забыть, я сама имею такие корни, моя семья из Сыктывкара, считаю себя русской, коми уже во многом ассимилировались). Русские живут по всей России, нас около 80%, с чего бы это русским распадаться? Максимум, какие проблемные регионы у нас могут быть потенциально - это та же Чечня, но и этот регион сейчас живёт хорошо, чеченцы вместе с остальными народами России сейчас сражаться за нашу страну в Украине. Уж каких то межэтнических проблем в России нет, не хотят те же якуты, например, своей отдельной страны республики Саха. Зачем? У них и так есть все права - свои газеты и радио на родном языке, возможность обучать детей на родном языке (с обязательным изучением и русского до уровня свободного владения). Якутов не меньше и в органах власти, у них абсолютно такие же права, как и у русских. Разбирайте лучше то, как будут распадаться США и Англия, эти сценарии будут реалистичнее.
Kind of like asking what if the USA or Brazil would break up. Don't think it would happen because there are no real benefits. Caspian report did a video on the break up of Russia named "The sum of all fear". Look it up.
As far as I know, Russian ethnic minorities are also minorities in their own ethnic regions except maybe for Caucasus, Tuva, Tatarstan and, I believe, Bashkortostan.
Russians are technically majority in Bashkortostan but not by very much. Different sources give slightly different numbers but the idea is that there are roughly 35% Russians, around 25-30% Bashkirs and the same percentage of Tatars. And as someone living in Ufa, I don't see any of them sticking out as a definite majority.

He's trying as hard as he can to enforce the fact that Russians are a minority in the republics he's showing - but that's not the reality. Russians form the majority in most republics, despite them being designed for non-Russian minorities, besides a few in the North Caucasus. Overall, 83% of Russia's population is made up of ethnic Russians. Russia indeed has many minorities, according to official data, over a 100. However, their numbers are so small, and due to low-birth rates; the majority of them are facing extinction. The only large minority in Russia are the Tatars.
I live in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and yes, we have the indigenous people of the Khanty, but they make up less than 1% of the population, but Russians are 70% here, how do we want to secede under an ethnic pretext? I can't imagine it. Another economic issue, we pump a huge part of the oil in Russia, and not sharing with Moscow may seem quite appetizing.
China is a huge factor for the future of far east Russia, with the North Amur valley having been Chinese up until 1858. That's pretty recent as far as Chinese memory is concerned. Chinese farmers have been leasing land there for farming, and there are tens of thousands of them as of several years ago, growing food where the Russians gave up many years ago. If it wasn't for geopolitical need for Chinese to have an "ally" on their border at this time, they would raising Taiwan-like issues about the entire Amur and Issuri river valleys being integral and historic parts of China. If China actually invaded, Russia would be quite helpless to stop them.
@@cavaliere5676 'Nuclear deterrence, friend' So if Russia is not afraid of China, which has a claim on Russian territory, because of nuclear deterrence, why does Russia profess to be worried about NATO, which has no claims on Russian territory?
There's a reason why the US and Europe supported russian unity in the 90s and early 2000s. Had it not been for Russia the world could have another Taliban and Al-Qaeda like terrorist groups all over Caucasus which is actually close both to Europe, Middle East and Central Asia.
So, if say Russia breaks up. How many cities in Central and Eastern Russia would be strong enough to support all of the poor villages and towns in their region? What about the Russian population in each of those regions? Will NATO and the U.S. be allowed to enter those regions? Would Moscow be expected to continue paying for everything?

Damn, reading Wikipedia charts must be hard -- you used 1926 census stats every time you referenced that one (which also casts doubt on every demographic percentage you report, whether or not the chart was presented alongside)
Putin did a good (or bad if you're non-russian reader) job at preventing this scenario. Before him there were Chechnya, Tatarstan that acted almost like an independent country and lots of talks about giving Kaliningrad to Germany and Karelia to Finland.

You made a mistake regarding Karelia, only 7,4% are ethnic Karelians. You used the figure from 1926 rather than the census of 2010. Seems unlikely that such a small minority could force separation
same with sakha
And in 2022 it could be more less then 7,4%
If it was made independent perhaps Karelians in Finland may want to return?
Also Finish Karelia could be ceded to them making Karelia less Russian.
Plus there may be many who just put Russian in the census but may be Karelians that are culturally Russian or people who don't know their ancestors were mostly Karelians and so identify as Russian.
Additionally some ethnic Russians with no connections to the region may wish to move to Russia Proper in such a scenario.
Fun fact: There are more Belarussians in Karelia than actual Karelians. OMEGALUL.
Maybe only Karelian speakers could be given citizenship and others could be "convinced" to leave.

An interesting detail about Dagestan - it is a multinational region itself. Just google Dagestan ethnicities map. There are more than 10 nationalities living there, besides the ethnic Russians, who are a minority there. These nationalities also have some tensions between them for centuries. Chechnya and Ingushetia even had an armed territorial dispute between them, even though they belong to the same Vainakh people. Trust me guys, when it comes down to multiculturalism, Russia is a true rabbit hole.
But somehow all these peoples manage to get along with each other. Historically infrastructure and economy is so tightly tied together, that breaking up these chains would be extremely painful for all sides involved. Russia is like a living symbiotic organism, where all sides need each other to survive. Like an ecosystem in the forest. All those fantasies about some region going independent will be crushed under the harsh reality of economy and logistics.

I think after napoleon and German unification broke the idea of city-states.

You'd either need to be on the coastline like Venice or survive for so long it's impossible to imagine a world without them like Vatican was or the city of London is today
the vatican and city of london are sucking the world dry
I think that some could exist for example if Istanbul seceded from turkey it could work on its own
Yeah, Singapore is basically the closest equivalent to modern-day Venice. Other than them, other city-states are basically almost irrelevant and exist under the mercy of the regional powers around them, like Vatican, Monaco, Liechstenstein or Hongkong. But they are quite prosperous tho.
i mean they still exist just look at singapore, monaco, macau or hongkong. I actually think that they could become far more common in the future in a world which is moving away from the free market. Trading leagues and tax havens make for a good recipie for city states to thrive.
If they are inside polical/economic block like the EU, a city state should work because they would have the legal/economic/military protection of the rest of the members in case of abuse from an external power.

The problem with this video is that the ratio of indigenous peoples and visitors is taken a hundred years ago, I have a national region at my side, with a second state national language, with benefits and quotas for the indigenous population. What do you think how many of this indigenous population? Less than 10%. Will they revolt and secede? Firstly, there are few of them, and secondly, they will lose all benefits. This will never happen.
the problem of video is that it is focusing only on minorities, but not takes into account that some Russian would also want independence from Moscow for economical reasons. Most of the regions are treated like colonies, when federal government takes all the resources and gives back a little amount just to survive. Also Russians constantly living in ethnic Republic are more or less culturally closer to the minority, often they know the language, traditions and this makes them distant from Russians of `Russia proper`.
@@nikolaia.9573 They don’t know, there are not so many minorities even in national regions, and even these minorities already have little knowledge of their language and traditions, they maintain minority status in order to receive benefits, this is noticeable in schools for minorities, there is no attendance, but according to surveys, indigenous people.

So you are confirming the ethnic abuses committed against indigenous minorities in Russia, where they have been decimated & oppressed to a minority status with tattered cultural heritage?
So, as a person living in Russia, I can say that the probability of the collapse of Russia is very small. Separatism has been minimal in our country since the end of 2000. But in the nineties, under Yeltsin, the situation was bad. There was a so-called "parade of sovereignties". This is a phenomenon when some subjects of Russia began to demand more autonomy. For example, Tatarstan or the Ural Republic. These "states" could hardly gain real independence, since they had no borders with anyone except Russia and did not even have access to the sea. Also, you probably heard about Chechnya, two wars took place there, it tried to separate from Russia. But after Putin's arrival, the centralization of power began, Chechnya returned to Russia, and the "parade of sovereignties" was over. This was probably done thanks to the privileges and guarantees of the elites of these subjects. Now the separation of these entities is unlikely, since they have a more or less good economic situation. (Not everywhere). For example, Chechnya was restored after devastating wars and now it is a fairly developed region of Russia. The peoples living in the republics are not infringed, but on the contrary, they are given various benefits. In all republics, in addition to the Russian language, there is a second regional language. For example, there are three languages in Crimea: Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar. And although less than a percent of the Crimean Tatar population uses Crimean Tatar, citizens have the right to speak and study in this language and no one will forbid it. Therefore, it is absolutely unprofitable for the republics to separate for whatever cultural reasons. The preservation of the culture of small nations is a distinctive feature of Russia's expansion. The Russians did not exterminate the indigenous peoples, like the Spaniards or the British, who exterminated the Indians. Joining was something like this: "Guys, we are joining you. You will pay us taxes. But we will not destroy your culture. Believe in your gods and speak your own language." But still there were clashes with the locals, but they did not acquire the character of genocide, as in America. An interesting fact: when serfdom was in Russia (this was when peasants were exploited at about the level of slavery), it spread mainly in central Russia and did not affect indigenous peoples.
To sum up, we can imagine the following variant of the collapse of Russia: we are losing to Ukraine in the war and it reaches the borders of 1991. Because of this, Russia is becoming weaker. The conditional pro-Western Yeltsin 2.0 comes to power and a new "parade of sovereignties" begins. Chechnya as the most unstable region and probably some other republics of the Caucasus are dissatisfied with what is happening and decide to secede from Russia. Japan is given the Kuriles and probably Sakhalin. Kaliningrad could theoretically be given under the protection of Poland, Germany or the Baltic States, although due to the fact that the communists resettled many Russians there, it would be difficult, so instead of being directly incorporated into some European country, Kaliningrad could become a fourth Baltic country. Some small disputed territories may be ceded to Finland and China. It is unlikely to imagine that Russia will break up into more countries than I have described. It is likely that the remaining republics will require more autonomy and the Russian Federation will turn into a confederation without part of the Caucasus, Kaliningrad and some other territories.
What a load of propaganda bullshit!! You have a very twisted view of history. Stalin exterminated thousands of indigenous people. War criminal Putin is responsible for the deaths of 260,000 men, most of them from ethnic minority groups. Russia already had a low birth rate now there is NO future for any kind of "Russian Federation". The Russian Federation is a terrorist state and will be disarmed, dismantled and be held responsible to rebuild Ukraine for many, many, many years to come.

I live in the autonomous region (Ugra). By nationality, I have Russian and Ukrainian-Polish roots. I have an Azerbaijani friend, he is in a large family and he never spoke about the disunity of Russia, in some ways he is even a patriot of Russia. In the school where I study there are many children who are not Russian or have mixed roots (30-40% of the school students) and they are in excellent contact with me. The government of the region is focused on partnership and creation of all conditions for the development of the small indigenous people of Khanty. Even the city itself, the capital of the region, is called Khanty-Mansiysk. You might think that assimilation is bad, but in America such a society has already been built.
Please, take some time (it won't consume much, by the way) to travel around the region and see what the land around the oil fields really looks like and listen to what the indigenous peoples actually have to say. Study the statistics on how the life has changed there during the last century. Go to the library and request for the documents on the process of the region's land development. It's not all fairytails and ponies as you're trying to describe it here.

This has been a long time dream of westerners to divide Russian Federation, but I am expert in this issue and can assure you that none of national Republics would break away in near pair hundreds of years. My expertise derives from my origin: my father is Yakut and my mother is Altai, I was born and lived in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), I studied in Yekaterinburg in Ural in university and now I live in Republic of Altai. Since 2000 I have researched and studied opinions on national separatism in Russia and my conclusion is that nowadays there is no separatist movements and wont be for a long time. People here understand that the moment separation occurs - that would be the end for nations, since there are own elites inside regions, many neighbouring nations with their own interests, aversions towards each other, cultural and religious differences. The only way to live in peace and survive is to be gathered together by strong undisputable center, such as ethnical Russians (who are mostly mixed and having different nationalities heritage, btw). Usually people of different nationalities call themselves Russians meaning that they belong to one country - Russia, and only after that they differentiate into nationalities. If we take Yakutia as an example and try to imagine what happens in the case of separation that would be a complete disaster: the only steps needed to send Yakutia into stoneage is to shut down heating producing plant and stop fuel transporation to that region. And civilization disappears. Moreover to the south is Buryatia, and they are completely different nation with own religion, culture, interests and elites. And conflict starts.
As an another example are Altai and Tyva, the same picture. So I have to conclude that separation seems impossible for me in near future and long-term.
P.S. Also you have to understand that Russians did not act towards local nations same as Americans towards indians, or British towards indians, or Europeans and Americans towards Africans. Local nations in Russia are on the same level with ethnical Russians having all freedoms and rights such as using own language, keeping traditions and culture, even having own constitutions, etc.

There is multiple issues witht his video, nowadays if the ethnicity represent minorities in Russie is because of mixity. Actually it's not that simple to find 100% russians, if you ask anyone who is his grandparents, you will usually find 2 to 4 different ethnicities, and maybe more. So talking about minority or majority is somehow not usefull in Russia in terms of culture. The governement is trying to keep the different cultures through tradition. I, myself , am from Tomsk, a city in the Tomsk Oblast, Siberia, and I'm a mixity of russian , belorus, crimean, jewish, and even african. My father is muslim while my mom is orthodoxe. Cultural differences won't affect Russia as it is now, except the European part, as we see with ukrain. There are separatists, but there are way more imperialists, and even more communists. You also forgot other ethnicities that came long ago to Russie, greeks, romans (byzantinians), turks etc...The unity of Russia is quite important is our country. Transport: well there is the transiberian. Infrastructure, I can't see how it could lead to separatism, as even non independant oblasts deal itself with local problematics. Separation of a Krai is the most unlikely to happen, as it will end up isolated, and won't have enough rresources to be autonomnius, due to population density.
You make good points but the reason for the mixing is due to in large part from the USSR and its policies. USSR was trying to be cunning by doing this to suppress the likelihood of rebellion. So the people of Russia were being controlled. To get around this, even though you may have mixing of the blood/ethnicities, you have to look at the percentages of who identifies as Russian by ethnicity and also look at the political situation in regions like Dagestan, Chechnya, and Tuva/Tyva Republics. If the vast majority does not identify as Russian and want out, then they should be allowed independence. Otherwise, Russia is forcing their power onto these groups of people. Unity is good for Russia but that isn't unity when you are controlling those who don't want to identify as Russian.
@@JTBCOOL1 Nowp, actually the USSR politics was quite the opposite, there is one man actually that went beyond all of that, Staline, through deportation, and actually that's how my crimean grandmother met my russian grandfather at Tomsk. Russia is not about being ethnical russian: in russian language we have 2 different words, ruski for ethnical russian and rossiyanin for the passport. The identity problem actually is more relevent in Europe and US, due to ethnical diversity through immigration. That's the thing, you take western point of views and copy paste it into eastern ways. It doesn't work like that.
The idea of a large county is superficially attractive, but after hundreds of years of dysfunction, corruption, famine, war, and tyrannical abuses... why would anyone want to be part of such a country?

@@oranaro9000 So by mixing tribes or ethnic backgrounds, understandably, you create one peoples. Uniting, I get it. That makes sense. But Stalin didn't do it for the benefit of the people but the state. It makes sense because that is what happens. The issue here is, there are regions in Russia even after multiple decades of unification still do not identify as Russians and want to be independent. At this point, you have to think and acknowledge that maybe some regions should be independent. Especially if there have been wars waged like in Grozny. Let the people speak and declare their freedom. This is democracy. This is the correct way. Not communism where the state wants to at times forcibly unite under the guise of unification.
@@oranaro9000, as an Italian living in Russia, I can just confirm your words. When I lived in Amsterdam or Antwerpen, there was a neighborhood where everybody was Jewish, with typical Jewish costume; suddenly you crossed the road and everybody was Muslim; then, in the following neighborhood everybody was African, and so on. These community do not visibly interact with each other. In saint Petersburg there is nothing such as a Jewish neighorhood or a Muslim or Uzbek or Tatar neighborhood. My father-in-law has Germans roots, my mother-in-law has Polish, Armenian and Lithuanian ancestry, the uncle of my wife is a muslim Tatar and her wife is half Jewish. When I came to their place, he had a green scarf with the Muslim faith profession in Arabic, wrapped around a Lenin statue; then, he started to prepare dinner: sausages, vodka and thing I did not expect from a Muslim. In the end, there is the idea that everybody share the same fate. Nobody showed me any hostility because I was Italian, even if my country invaded Russia in WW2 and now is taking part in sanctions. I felt far more racism in the Netherlands, they treated me as a savage just because the place I came from.
The lack of infrastructure in central and eastern Russia is due to the climate, not lack of money or disorganization. The climate is so extreme that it would destroy the roads fairly quickly or almost anything.
@Imaginary Unicorn Harsher climate in Norway? Are you for real? Lmao
Go learn some of the extreme wheather in Russia. I think I watched this on a documentary, it's impossible to build and maintain roads in most of the russian territory because the cost to maintain them would be extremely high due to VERY LOW populated areas which means this maintenance would have to come from very far away, probably thousands of kilometers and just 1 winter would probably be enough to destroy the roads.
@Imaginary Unicorn !???
Did you even read anything what I said? It's impossible to build roads in russian eastern territory because of logistics and extreme wheather!
@Imaginary Unicorn Norway is a very tiny nation compared to Russia, much, much easier to maintain anything.
@Imaginary Unicorn You only talk garbage, I'm done here.
@Imaginary Unicorn Try seeing things in the way you were not instructed to see, you might unlearn lies and learn something good as well as trainning your critical thinking.
I'm impressed how both high-quality and low-quality the video is. From one hand the author did a great job researching all these maps. On the other hand he didn't cover the topics that are obvious for every Russian:
- existing separatism movements. Firstly, it's Caucasus, especially Chechnya that had 2 wars 20 years ago. Secondly, it's Turkic areas like Tatarstan, Bashkiria and so on: relatively rich area with the biggest minority in Russia divided from Kazakhstan with Orenburg corridor only
- poorly connected far-east areas that sometimes have more economic relations with neighbours (China, Mongolia, Japan) than with Moscow, especially Khabarovsk and Vladivostok
- territorial claims from the other countries. Russia has conquered too much in the past so you have somewhat implicitly contested territories with Finland, Estonia, Ukraine (especially now), Kazakhstan, Japan
- current economical model. Considering it, Moscow is never interested in being independent, haha
While having the mentioned above listening to Jewish Autonomous Oblast (that's not Jewish, not Autonomous, and not Oblast - like HRE) to be separated... That's hilarious
Industrial society (either communist or capitalist) strongly compels integration of complementary areas. Commodities of daily life are largely imported to the "ethnic" areas. Current population would be decimated.
Another approach is to turn back the clock to before the Russian empire integrated all these territories/populations/cultural groups.
Viable subdivisions of RF would have to center on distribution points that can support life, or on extant neighboring countries that can nurse these proto-states along.
E.g. Chechnya et al, western Siberia, Mongolia/Baikal region, the far east and northeast, the far north and Novgorod, the Caspian steppes/Volga basin, pskov, Moscow, st Petersburg. But the thing is--we don't know if there is any regional identity among the overwhelming Russian majority that can outweigh the centuries of integration and dependency. Contrast with provinces of western Canada, which do have strong identity, global integration, and are in dialog with their First Nations minorities.
Some edge states are more likely to unify with their neighbors outside Russia than become independent.

Neat analysis with an exception of lacking information of existing/existed projects of autonomous republics like Idel-Ural state, Ingria, Confederation of Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus etc

The break up of France would be interesting especially with their overseas regions linked French Guiana, New Caledonia, Réunion, etc.
It's not a big loss economically, but geo-strategic it's a real disaster. This is in the overseas region that France has the second largest EEZ on the planet. The French overseas regions have no raw material, low demographics, nothing thrilling in the event of separation.
New Caledonia seems to always have an independence referendum and they always vote to stay. Reunion, French Guiana and others aren't a dependent territory, they're part of France and the EU. Then again, Algeria was too.

Such a remote "Jewish" automous region nested up against North Korea and China is amazing.
You can thank Stalin for that, he wanted credit for being 1930s woke by making a Jewish homeland, but he also wanted it as far away as possible from the centers of Soviet power.
Yeah, there is nothing Jewish about it any more. They just don't bother to change the name and rearrange administrations in case it were to be absorbed into surrounding territory. It's a failed Soviet project.

Those censuses don't include the people from the lost Finnish lands, except in the 1959 one when a lot of lost Finnish lands had been incorporated into the Karelo-Finnish SSR and later Karelian ASSR, which were mostly settled by Russians anyway since literally everyone had left. The 400 000 Finnish Karelian refugees who fled to Finland in WW2 were Lutheran Finns speaking southeastern Finnish dialects and not Orthodox practicing eastern Karelians who inhabited and still inhabit eastern Karelia AKA the Karelian Republic.
@@indijanacdzon8416 genocide of ingrian finns, russification of finland, and I also suggest looking into soviet massive deportations chronology - Karelians were expelled (usually to Central Asia) in 30s and 40s. Those territories were then repopulated by Russians and that's in general how "always historically Russian" territories like Crimea are born.
Russia, being an empire, was (and keep on) always destroying ethnic minorities. You shouldn't be surprised by such facts in history of any land occupied by Moscow since 1450. But it's not Moscow thing, it's true for any empire, it's just the nature of imperialism. England did that while they were empire, France, Spain, etc. It's in a human nature when it comes down to empire.

Kaliningrad is an interesting topic. Used to be a German territory, with an entirely German population of 250,000. During the end of WW2, Stalin forced the German population out, and into East Germany. It's why it never and probably will never, break away from Russia.

@@MeelisPaas This would be interesting (I am from Kaliningrad). A country as large as Russia is kind of unnatural. It's hard to connect people, and hard to believe you're a citizen of a land which is 7000 km away. But it would not be easy to survive as such a small country with not a lot of resources. And we wouldn't join our neighbours. For example Poland - I like visiting it. But be a part of it?.. The majority of Polish people are Catholic Christians. The majority of people in Kaliningrad are non-believers. Some are Orthodox Christians. People in Poland tend to wake up insanely early, while here we wake up later and go to bed later. Not to mention there's not a lot of people willing to give up Russian language and cyrillic script.

Idk if someone mentioned it, but the only reason you don't want Russia to break up, at least completely is due to the fact that nuclear arsenal will also split between "states". As of this day, as I see it, under circumstances of break up the states are too prone to end up with autocratic regimes which would result in even worse scenario than if the russia remain "united".
Russia needs much stronger federalism with lots of taxes staying in the parts where they've been gathered
I dont think that is the only reason.
Maybe you should think how your own country can break up
Exactly!
Yeah, funny to see here these western dudes waiting for the break up of country which managed to avoid this for more than a 1000 years, while they live on this planet only for a blink
Its up to Rissian citizens to decide, not you
I suspect far east can't exactly separate that easily, considering the vast majority of farmland and other kind of food supply are located in the westernmost regions. Even if all those regions separated they're still kinda would be dependent.
My family is from the Far East. While the soil is not the best where we come from, my family grew everything themselves for generations, food was never an issue. So it is possible to grow food enough for the Far East there. Plus, we have plenty of fish and seafood. Seperation from Moscow for the Far East is possible and hopefully will happen one day🙏

@@JaKingScomez What was the meaning of this assessment?
Я если честно, почему-то хочу заметить такой момент. Если сравнивать горожанина из Новосибирска и из Москвы, можно заметить, насколько более религиозным является Москвич.
Есть несколько регионов, где нерелигиозных людей больше половины. Например вышеупомянутый Новосибирск имеет 25% атеистов, и 35% деистов, и всего-лишь 25% православных.
Есть даже мнение такое, что большинство православных России - православные атеисты, что-то вроде культурного патриотизма.
Москваболее дремучая чем мы в Сибири, мы всегда надеемсятолько на свои силы
Што. В Москве религиозные? Каждый первый отвечает не на вопрос "Верите ли вы в Бога как православный?" а на вопрос "Вы православный, мусульманин или католик?"
Даже будучи убежденным атеизмом, я отвечу что православный.
@@whythefuckineedhandle Там опрос был про православие и воцерковлённость. Формулировка опроса оч точная. Москва реально более религиозна, чем некоторые области в сибири и дальнем востоке. Вообще вроде самый нерелигиозный регион где-то на дальнем востоке находится.
Вспомнить только, ситуацию, когда бизнесмен из Новосиба приехал в Москву с парикмахерской под названием "Детская пыточная", в которой что-то сатанинское обнаружилось только когда чел приехал в Москву, и когда к нему завалилась группа православных активистов с бабками. Тем временем в родном городе всем было либо плевать, либо все понимали юмор, что дети не любят стричься, потому "ха-ха-ха". Это конечно не особо выборка, но яркая штука, что в столице вообще существуют такие организации, и для кого-то сатанизм - не какой-то прикол, а что-то звучащее угрожающе.
the thing is that in the end those will simply become tiny states that would find it exceedingly difficult to sustain themselves without the help from the federal budget and will end-up having to rely on foreign aid anyway becoming ether chinese puppet states or broke backwaters, even the ones who have alot of natural resources, like sakha due to their low population and vast territory will end-up being "colonised" by foreign companies, be it russian, western or chinese in the end its always the same story, u grab all ya can without a single care for the natives. there is no good future for those tiny states wether they will stay with russia or leave it.
I think they a far better now-in the Russian Federation- than seperated, main reason why virtually no one wants to brake away over there.

Okay, at this point you've broken up Russia and China despite all the horrific consequences, you now need to break up the other modern empire-the United States.
It's only fair.
USA is not an empire, there is no any national republics inside
It is actualy already devided. After all state IS a country.
The USA is too integrated. The way a country breaks up is part of the country wants to leave. There are no states that want to leave the USA anymore. No matter how hardcore some GOP states are, their economy would be crushed in a second without California and New York. Even states like Texas couldn't leave the USA because cities like Austin and Houston drive the economy in the state. I would love to get into a place where the USA can throw out welfare states like Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama and Mississippi...but they would never leave.
@@PeterSedesse I think you're right that no part of the United States is seriously interested in secession. There are small independence movements in Hawaii and Puerta Rico and there are a few Garveyists out there, but by-and-large Americans are satisfied to be Americans and any attempts to break away would be quickly and determinedly suppressed.
The same could be said about both Russia and China, but they made "What-if" videos about their dissolution. I don't think either one of those countries is likely to fall apart. But if the exercise in speculation is legitimate for China and Russia, it's equally legitimate for the United States.

Missed the most important factor: Economics. Money. My understanding is that it is these outlying areas that have the natural resources but are kept poor and dependent while the money all flows to Moscow to fight Pootin's wars.
It was not the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic. It was the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR).
The 2 main divisions are Russian conservatives vs Moscow liberals (just like US but not as splitting as geographically splitting as in US) and Russians vs Caucuses- ethnic tension there.
On the city-state thing, I think it already exists as metropolitan areas, but with common rights and laws and a collective defense.

Canada is the most likely country to break up out of the top six.

Remember, those current republics that made up Russia Federation today agreed to stay together even in the hardest time of the Federation in the 20th century ( the 90s).
There are many reasons for them to stay together:
_Many regions rely on donation from other regions in the federation to keep their economy from collapsing. Being independent for them isn't a privilege but rather a disaster . For example the Tuva republic , very few Russian live there but because the economic benefits they chose to remain, after all Tuva is very poor on both natural resources and intellectual resources, it is better for them to rely on someone else.
_Many ethics don't know how to operate a state on their own, all they want are to keep preserving their way of living as well as practicing their religions . So as long as the federal government take all the burden of making policies and avoid interfering with their way of life then they wouldn't leave.
_ For the Caucasus regions, leaving the Federation would immediately result in endless conflict and civil war, after all the Caucasus is very ethnicly divided, without a federal government, everyone would care only about the interest of their ethnicity .After seeing all the mess and conflicts going on between Armenian and Azerbaijan, Georgian, Ossetian, Abkhazian, I would say the whole Caucasus will be destablize as soon as the federal government management's ceased to exist.
@Imaginary Unicorn How easy it is for you to talk about a country in which you have not even been, apparently you have not read serious reports on it, even against the backdrop of Europe, Russia is not the worst country, it is richer in terms of GDP per capita than 15 other European countries, has medicine in the average sample in Europe, has resource independence, has social support that is not available in many European countries, watch fewer bloggers and read more serious articles from international organizations.
In the end, even now, fighting with Ukraine, in the Russian Federation, less opposition is planted in the minds of people, per 1000 of the population, than in European countries that are not supposed to be in this conflict naturally, that's what you need to know about freedom of speech in Europe.
Democracy? Parties are allowed in the Russian Federation, if you want, you can create your own.
The government does not care about its people?
And what is happening right now in Germany, when from the TV screens, the head of the German Foreign Ministry, Burbock. statements that "aid to Ukraine will be transported, as it can be, and it doesn't matter what the Germans themselves think," that's where the structures don't care about the people, did you get new prices for utilities?
Now you will declare that Russia attacked Ukraine, and I will ask, in which country, as a result of the attack, are the most refugees from Ukraine? That's what it is, in the Russian Federation. Strange war? What is really going on there?
Well, for example, back in 2014, Ukrainian planes fired missiles at the center of the city of Luhansk, CNN has videos about this.
Or Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula, 2 million people, 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers with tanks, artillery, warehouses and a dozen bases. Captured by evil Russians from 20 thousand people with machine guns, without loss, is not it surprising? Doesn't it make you wonder what's wrong? And if I say that only 28 thousand left the Crimea, and the rest went to the service of the Russian Federation? Why did they do it?
Or from fresh, rebellious Donetsk bombarded with anti-personnel mines from Ukraine, women, children, civilians.
Here it is Ukraine, already 8 years.
Or the shelling of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, just because it is on the territory of the liberated coralition and feeds their areas.
And the fact that there is not a single Ukrainian in the protection of the President of Ukraine clearly speaks of his relationship with the people of Ukraine.
So think about how much propaganda you pour.
Read serious sources and analyze for yourself.
So basically the entirety of Russian Caucasus will become the second Bosnia

С чего бы нам распадаться, никого в правах не ущемляют, у нас вообще не сильно акцент на национальности делается. Мы живём так, как это исторически сложилось, нас связывает и экономика, и история. Многие малые народы постепенно ассимилируются, и это естественный процесс - например, смешанные браки способствуют (про коми, например, можете забыть, я сама имею такие корни, моя семья из Сыктывкара, считаю себя русской, коми уже во многом ассимилировались). Русские живут по всей России, нас около 80%, с чего бы это русским распадаться? Максимум, какие проблемные регионы у нас могут быть потенциально - это та же Чечня, но и этот регион сейчас живёт хорошо, чеченцы вместе с остальными народами России сейчас сражаться за нашу страну в Украине. Уж каких то межэтнических проблем в России нет, не хотят те же якуты, например, своей отдельной страны республики Саха. Зачем?

You should make that City-State video because that sounds super interesting
2:46 It's KraSNOyarsk, not KraNOSyarsk. The root krasn- means red and -yar means cliff. So the city name is Red Cliff.

you did a great job, there are also some Karelians as far south as close to Moscow! and the language is even more distinct from standard Finnish and Russian

( and big part of this minorities are loyal to Russian Federation)
@@rafakrzentowski9549 You forget the fact that many people from those regions(including russians) are against Moscow way of managing things. They live in the regions that either:
- has something useful but the majority of income went to Moscow
- had something useful and once the useful part went away Moscow forgot about them(people are jobless)
- had nothing to begin with and government doesn't give a damn
All of those people already had their pickets and organizations formed to fight for equal rights or to leave russia since they don't win anything by being there. All of those were suppressed by force. They will have their chance to change everything once Ukraine kicks russia out of its border. Whether they will have balls to do what they preach is another story but this will be their last chance.
@@NameUserOf there would be rather coup or rebellion against putin's government than war for independence( it's questionable too, because 70%-80% people living in Russia support war and ukrainian counteroffensive isn't going so well, they started this almost week ago and they recaptured only a few villages, this war can take several more years)
@@rafakrzentowski9549 Ukrainian counter-offensive actions are doing just fine. Its not WW2 when mindless russians attack with numbers. Ukraine did a smart thing by attacking supply, bridges and pretend to go to Kherson full force resulting russia to leave Kharkiv with the worst forces. So its ok, i think at most the war will be going for 1 year. In October land-lease will be start working. Ukraine will gain more weapon while russia will lose more weapon. Many analysts think Kherson can be returned this year.
You don't seem to understand. It doesn't matter whether those people support Ukraine or not. They don't support Moscow. And those questions were raised long before 2014 and were asked afterwards. Very few russians actually fought against putin so i don't think they will act when he is in power. Some have fled the country some imprisoned. If they will act they will do it after putin is removed from the picture.
I see the pattern first China, Russia
Next video gonna be India I guess. After that Iran North Korea lol
Why India? India is playing both sides (not China's side tho, thats a different side than usa and russia even if Russia and China are allies imo)
US also
Imagine including India is China Russia list just because it isn't licking Western ass and playing on both sides.
Only Russia is friend of India and Iran is I guess neutral. North Korea is not so good in terms of relations and China is a goddamn rival.

8:07 I like how you cherry-pick the 1926 census data, despite the 2010 census data being shown in the corner. How about you gather some demographic data from the Middle Ages next time?
He's trying as hard as he can to enforce the fact that Russians are a minority in the republics he's showing - but that's not the reality. Russians form the majority in most republics, despite them being designed for non-Russian minorities, besides a few in the North Caucasus. Overall, 83% of Russia's population is made up of ethnic Russians. Russia indeed has many minorities, according to official data, over a 100. However, their numbers are so small, and due to low-birth rates; the majority of them are facing extinction. The only large minority in Russia are the Tatars.
Please make a video on what if USA broke up
I live in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and yes, we have the indigenous people of the Khanty, but they make up less than 1% of the population, but Russians are 70% here, how do we want to secede under an ethnic pretext? I can't imagine it. Another economic issue, we pump a huge part of the oil in Russia, and not sharing with Moscow may seem quite appetizing.
China is a huge factor for the future of far east Russia, with the North Amur valley having been Chinese up until 1858.
That's pretty recent as far as Chinese memory is concerned.
Chinese farmers have been leasing land there for farming, and there are tens of thousands of them as of several years ago, growing food where the Russians gave up many years ago.
If it wasn't for geopolitical need for Chinese to have an "ally" on their border at this time, they would raising Taiwan-like issues about the entire Amur and Issuri river valleys being integral and historic parts of China.
If China actually invaded, Russia would be quite helpless to stop them.

If Russia broke up I wouldn't shed a tear
There's a reason why the US and Europe supported russian unity in the 90s and early 2000s. Had it not been for Russia the world could have another Taliban and Al-Qaeda like terrorist groups all over Caucasus which is actually close both to Europe, Middle East and Central Asia.
Если мигранты будут вырезать европейцев я тоже не буду плакать, ну или мексиканцы американцев
We are your enemy, why would be upset if that happens lol
We in Russia won't either, for EU and US.
So, if say Russia breaks up. How many cities in Central and Eastern Russia would be strong enough to support all of the poor villages and towns in their region? What about the Russian population in each of those regions? Will NATO and the U.S. be allowed to enter those regions? Would Moscow be expected to continue paying for everything?
I understand that this has been the goal of the U.S. and Western European allies for close to a century which indicates their intent on 'diplomacy on good terms', there never was an ulterior motive by the West to harm Russia.
Damn, reading Wikipedia charts must be hard -- you used 1926 census stats every time you referenced that one (which also casts doubt on every demographic percentage you report, whether or not the chart was presented alongside)
Putin did a good (or bad if you're non-russian reader) job at preventing this scenario. Before him there were Chechnya, Tatarstan that acted almost like an independent country and lots of talks about giving Kaliningrad to Germany and Karelia to Finland. Now even the status of the regions practically doesn't mean anything, minorities are either outweight by russians or live in uninhabitant low-denced areas. Russia is unitarized economicaly and diplpmaticaly. I wonder what will happen after him
