In the Russian Civil War, Siberia and the Far East wanted to spilt up with Russia, not wanting to be involved with the Communists. Siberia made a declaration of Independence in 1919, I think. And the Far East called itself a republic from 1920 to 1922.

What would it be like for Siberia to be independent? The USSR would still be pretty big, but it wouldn't look as menacing on a map. I don't see how Siberia would be conquered by China. If you do, show me how. And I personally believe The Far East Republic would be invaded by Japan, when it wanted to expand in the 30s and early 40s, and defended by Siberia.

Perhaps at some point the countries would want to merge. What do you think?
