Russia started this war, and when it’s over I hope we see the country no longer existing.

Let it fracture into smaller regional groupings that aren’t a continuation of the last few hundred years of Russian imperialism.

I got banned from a buuunch of places a few years ago proposing exactly this; that the oligarchs responsible should all be killed, and Russia should be chopped into tiny pieces that aren't big enough to threaten anybody,all without resource autonomy so they can be easily pressured from outside.

One of the few things I was banned from stuff for a year+ ago that hasn't become pretty standard in the lefty internet yet. I was getting worried.

the people of the russian federation are diverse. the government of the russian federation is not. a sure sign that the country should be split up so that people can actually be represented instead of just subjugated

Yes. It's big and wasn't together for any particular reason but czarist conquest. One could argue the revolution and USSR, but that's well in the past now, so the idea of a 'Russia' is kind of weird and creepy.
