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

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.

0:31 It was a federation in Soviet times too, the Russian socialist FEDERATIVE soviet republic, RSFSR. It didn’t have to reinvent itself at all.
@maximvazhenin3345
8:10 you're looking on population of 1926 instead of 2010. Same with Karelia.
@svenmance5736
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.
@dna9838
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.
@DavidGonzalez-jh6eh
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

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.

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.

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.
@anotherelvis
If read the map on 4:20 correctly, most regions have more than 50% Russians. Tuva and the Caucasus are exceptions to the rule.

Thanks so much for providing this informative video :)

I'm from "Permskyi kryai". The Permian period was also named as the city near which the first fossils from that era were found.

In Russia there is the saying "you are dividing fur of alive bear". I think this is the most accurate description of this.
@oranaro9000
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.
@lizaoberlin1876
as a Russian who lives in Siberia, it's hard for me to look at this map of Russia. On your map, some cities and republics are in a completely different place... it's all in the public domain, why are you showing the wrong information. In addition, completely incorrect information about the population and ethnic peoples ...
