Big, united Russia with lots of nukes can afford to use them much more than 5 small, weak post-Russias, each with some nukes.

If nothing else, these post-Russias would struggle to afford even more to upkeep and upgrade the stash of nukes. And would be easier to neutralize too...

Again, not comforting. "Might as well use them on <hated neighbor>!"
