I agree to it being an existential threat - to Moscow and the Kremlin.

(Which is what matters.)

A prospering, west-oriented, large and largely Russophone country on their borders would be a terrible reminder for both populations what a massive failure the Russian state is.

I was mainly thinking of the geopolitical ramifications, but that's a very good point as well with interesting similarities to China. The mere existence of Prosperous Chinese "Rogue States" like Hong Kong and Taiwan undermine the legitimacy of the CCP
