I've been working on a Tl and i got to wondering how the borders of the current stans were formed. I know it was during early soviet times but was it based solely on ethics groupings at the time or was it more or less arbitrary than that?

Also, what separates an ASSR from of Soviet Republic itself?

And this is where the alternate history comes in, how would history be different if the stans borders were significantly different?
