That would have lot of interesting consequences. The big question is what happens to siberian oil.

What happens if western russia gets politically split off from siberia and can't be a petrol state anymore? Who gets the nukes? Can they even keep track of the nukes?

Siberia is enormous and closer to china. An oil rich china sounds scary.

IF the breakup happens (and I personally think this is very unlikely) in the near term it will likely be contracted to oil major that gives highest bribes. Which should be a minor change to the outside world. My 2c.
