Statehood 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.

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.
