I mean... Not in practice.
Just ask the US or Russian states.
- sorokod 7y agoEven in case of Russia, Baltic States and others exist as independent states while they were not during USSR days
- kgwgk 7y agoWhat does it have to do with the possibility of seceding from the Russian Federation?
- sorokod 7y agoStatehood changes given enough time. In the case of Russia, and the states I mentioned, about sixty years. Scotland, part of UK for centuries, may have a referendum soon. Texas "seceeded" from Mexico in the 1840s. So it goes.
- kgwgk 7y agoThe thread is about whether secession from federations is possible in general. The USSR recognized the independence of those Baltic states (after military control of the situation failed) on 6 September 1991 and disappeared a few weeks later. Not the best example of orderly and and amicable secession, I think.
