Will Russia hold together

Article Abstract:

Russian central authority is eroding, and regional bosses may seek more autonomy, leading to disintegration of Russia. Regions making net contributions are likely to seek more economic control, and control of poorer regions will be more difficult if less is available in subsidies. Civil war could erupt, though this depends on the attitude of the Russian military. There are some 30,000 nuclear warheads in Russia, and tension is increasing.
