Green Ukraine

There was plan to establish Ukrainian state (also called Green Ukraine) to Russian Far East.

Let's now change history so that Green Ukraine is established as East Ukrainian SSR inside Soviet Union. Probably this wouldn't change Soviet history. Or do you believe that it's existence would have influenced e.g. to Japan's WWII war plans with any way.

But what would have happened in Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991. Do you see any possibility that it would have become part of Ukraine despite of large geographical distance (assuming Ukrainian majority in Eastern Ukraine). If this would be possible, how this would have changed Ukraine's "role in world politics" compared to present.

What about Russian Pacific Fleet. Would Russia simply have moved it's headquarters from Vladivostok e.g. to Kamtchacka Peninsula.
 
I'd be interested in a post Cold War outlook for such a state. Assuming everything occurs more or less normal until 1991, how does an East Ukraine fare? Will it be more Chinese-aligned, or stay close to Russia? As well, what of North Korea and its close proximity? I don't see East Ukraine really getting SSR independence from a Russian SSR just because of how important Vladivostok would be.
 
Interesting Idea. Hard to say how it fares, though I doubt the population or economy is going to be large enough for it to go on its own, so I think it remains a quiet remote Russian state in the Federation. Weirdest case scenario, if it really identifies with West Ukraine then just maybe it tries to ceseede with it's western big brother and we get "Orange" and "Green" together as a single very remotely-divided state? Meanwhile Irish irredentists curse the irony.
