Russia. The largest country on Earth,formerly the Russian Empire..one of the largest empires to had ever existed. With all the land that they control,was there ever a time when a portion of it could have broken away and became it's own country? It's large enough,if you consider Siberia breaking away and forming it's own country.

Is there a Russia? Or are there varying meanings of it? The most western portion of Russia,considered to be the "European" part of Russia..is called the "original" Russia or the "true" Russia. With the expansion by the Czars eastward,there was luck..and skill when conquering the peoples and tribes along the way.

It's doubtful now,but I would guess that if there was ever a time when the peoples could have broken away..it was before 1900. I've heard about revolts before,but they were crushed. Is it possible? Personally I would say yes,if Imperial China was not in decline..and the nations of Japan and America could have taken advantage of the weak Russia..perhaps some of the most eastern land could have been divided up.
