AHC: Balkanise Russia

Okay, your challenge is to Balkanise Russia with a PoD after 1800. Extra points if you can make the ethnic Russians control little beyond the Urals.
 
Uhm, for the lands over the Urals I could see only a puppet state, or protectorate if you prefer, created by the UK or the USA in late 19th century. For the balkanization proper of Russia, I can only see the victory of Napoleon in Russia to do so.
 
How balkanised are we talking here? Cause one could argue that Russia did balkanize, at least partially, during the Russian Civil war. SO how about a more successful Allied intervention and White movement, not a total victory mind you, that leads to the Whites fleeing to the Far east and creating their own state, supported by the Allies and similar to the Korean situation today, with both claiming to be the legitimate Russia. And the other states, such as Ukraine and Belarus gain, their independence. Or something to that effect.
