So Russia is becoming Westeros now? Do they not know how that panned out?

I could really see some of the republics within Russia to try and secede from Russia if the situation gets too bad. Dagestan and Tatarstan or Bashkortostan look like prime contenders for this to happen. Or Chechens get rid of Kadyrov and restart their conflict with Russia? Circassian Nationalists may also be a group to watch in this regard.

So many options as to where a civil war could get started from...
