Apparently, early on the Soviet Union debated how to deal with the nationalism question. Some felt that nationalism had no place in the Soviet Union and so it should not be divided along ethnic lines. Others felt that every nationality should develop separately. How would it be if Lenin and other Soviet leaders decide to pursue a policy less encouraging of local nationalisms in favour of a single Soviet nationalism. Could it happen that the Soviet Union is not internally divided along national lines but into districts that make no attempt to match national boundaries? How might this happen and how might it effect the Unions history (and it's fall if it does fall)?
