|Accusation=his article is absolutely packed with one after another unsupported
causation lies.  It is a great example of propoganda that sounds like 
history but the actual facts are not supported.  In the first few sentences:
150 million people have left Russia since the 1990’s, and one-third of its area has been clipped off its map.

These people did not jump over a border wall — they formed their own countries and seceded.

One by one, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, 
Latvia, Moldova, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and (drum roll) Ukraine,
 decided that they were not Russians after all. With these 
150 million people went 2.6-million square miles of land (5-million sq. kms).

As the war goes on in Ukraine, highlighting the 
incapacity of the Russian army, 
there are signs that other territories are looking for their moment. 
The disintegration of Russia has not stopped.

Far from uniting Russia, Putin’s war is driving it further apart.

At its core stands an impossible notion of Russia — 
one that only an army of occupation could pave over.

Russia’s inability to form a nation is in fact long-seeded. 
After WWI Large chunks of the empire broke off and established 
independent nation-states: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Finland, 
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine. 

As Stalin’s power grew, only those around the Baltic Sea — 
Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland — stayed out of Moscow’s 
grasp; the rest were re-conquered.

This is all directly contradicted by an established historian, in the book
"Bloodlands" by Timothy Snyder (of Yale)
