Very likely after Putin's death.

China annexes Siberia

Japan annexes Kuril Islands

Chechnya declares independence

Poland annexes Kaliningrad

Chechnya as a nation sounds spot-on and I think there'd be more than just Siberia if China got involved in some annexing.

Fun fact:
Kaliningrad was offered by Russia to Germany after Germany broke the Berlin wall.
Germany turned it down because there wasn't any germans there anymore and big russian minority would be a danger.

>Turning down free territory

Yes, Germans are this cucked.

Imagine that you are offered annexation of Somalia on a condition that you make all Somalians British citizens.
Would you turn down this free territory?

Russia is 80% Slavic, so if Russia balkanizes, then according to regional identities, not ethnic ones

It depends on economic prosperity as always and distribution of money. If they'll have the money to distribute it properly between oligarchs, army and central administration, then there will be stabilization. However if those who are ruled won't get their money, then this will lead to the brutalization of social relations and terrorist attacks on the government. This is a normal consequence in every society

Vast majority of those territories are absolutely dependent on the Rus core areas to survive.

Large swathes are tundra and barren permafrost, like Canada. Completely unusable.

I'd send all the Somalians on a one-way trip to the bottom of the ocean and turn it into the world's largest beach resort.

It's a shithole though.

already happened :(

Population of etnic russians are rapidly shrinking. Especially in so called "national republics" where they are often treated as subhumans. So yes, balkanization is inevitable. Also, your "savior of white race" Putin strongly supports minorities because they bring him 90-100% of their votes.

So's Gibraltar, it's not about the land.

Control Kaliningrad and you deny Russian control of the Baltic. Deny Russia's only North Atlantic warm water port. And you drastically limit Russia's effective land-based ballistic missile range.

According to Stratfor, it will happen by 2020.

Fuck off Zbigniew.

That's some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

Population of etnic russians in RF (official census):
1989 - 119,865,469
2002 - 115,889,107
2010 - 111,016,896
And you must understand that this also includes immigration of millions russians who ran away from Caucassus and Cental Asia after 1991. We are dying out.
