At this point, this ship has sailed...and I am not sure it would be the best thing for anyone to begin with. Russia controls (and always has) all the public services like medicine and hospitals, police, transportation, education. Russia leaving the province alone would be like throwing a region back in to the stone age. Not to mention that they are investing a lot of money and resources in to the region due to the oil pipeline... |
Would they really be back in the stone age... you know, considering the pipeline you later mentioned. Contiuned use of that would net the new country quite a bit of money to build infrastructure.
