What western liberals don’t get is if they succeed in breaking apart the Russian Federation they’ll be left with a rump state of over 100 million aggrieved ethnic Russians that will act a lot more like any other Slavic nation, without moderating burden of empire: a super-Serbia.

According to the CIA World Factbook, there are 142 million people in Russia and 77.7% or 110 million are ethnic Russians.
