   Russia is made up of 84 regional entities – plus the territories they have   
   invaded in Ukraine, which they recognize as their own. Many of these regions   
   are populated by ethnic groups with a culture, religion and even language very   
   different from the    
   one spoken in Moscow.   
      
   In many cases, we are talking about huge territories that have been   
   marginalized by the Kremlin for centuries. Russia's hyper-centralism and lack   
   of investment have left many areas with almost no infrastructure. The   
   differences between the poorest and    
   richest regions are much greater than in the European Union.   
      
   Moreover, the Putin administration has contributed to exacerbating this   
   problem: particularly after the invasion of Crimea in 2014, which took away a   
   lot of resources that would otherwise have gone to the development of less   
   prosperous regions. The war    
   in Ukraine and the consequent increase in military spending in Russia is sure   
   to make this problem even worse. Especially since many of these disadvantaged   
   regions are making the greatest sacrifice in terms of soldiers killed. To what   
   extent could the    
   Ukrainian war lead to a wave of separatism in Ukraine? Could Russia become   
   Balkanized? In this video we tell you.
