How do you suppose to rule a giant country? Arguably USSR fell exactly because it was too centralized. Russians fail to govern even smaller territory now despite having historical lessons, and better communication and transportation.
>>18391762It was collapsing already though, right? Look at Finland and Poland breaking off. World War I also destroyed the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires. The communists somehow managed to slow it down and delay it for another century.
>>18391762>total collapse Notice how the largest part that wasn't divided is still intact. When Rome divided in half people still say that "Rome somewhat survived for a while" but with USSR, a chunk less than a half of entire territory falls off and suddenly it's a collapse. In reality modern Russia is literally USSR just renamed. Right now, as we speak, they're even doing some commie tier shit where the government ordered to kill shit ton of cattle in rural places for some reason, people are complaining they're going to starve to death.
>>18391840>How do you suppose to rule a giant country?Russian Empire did completely fine without ethnic substates (substates that were included so like Georgia or Poland were that as conquest peace treaty conditions, though Poland's autonomy was canceled after 1830 uprising).

>>18391762The only other choice would have been complete genocide of every group not russiaon and they were going out of fashion even back then.
>>18392019>>18391858
>>18392019no, the other choice would be to not base the subdivisions on ethinicity at all.
