His fear is not irrational. Did you ever hear of a country called "Yugoslavia"?
NATO wants to do the same thing to Russia, but on a bigger scale.
On February 14, 2023, policymakers, government officials and geopolitical “experts” gathered at the Hudson Institute, just down the street from the White House, for a half day conference to discuss the future of Eurasia.
As these policy potentates took their seats in the hall of one of the US’s greatest Washington think tanks, the air must have crackled with electricity. They were there, after all, on a momentous mission: to plan for the dissolution of the Russian Federation.

The introductory brief set the tone of the conference:
While it is unknown when Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine will end, a Russian defeat would likely lead to the dissolution of the Russian Federation as it is known today. Because of the Kremlin’s decision to attack Ukraine, Moscow’s once extensive influence across Eurasia has dwindled, and the war has devastated Russia’s economy, military, and social stability.
US and allied policymakers need to understand this possibility and prepare for the new Eurasian geopolitical reality that a fall of the Russian Federation might bring.
The conference consisted of two panels, with a keynote address from a Ukrainian MP. The two panels featured Neocons from The Jamestown Foundation, the Atlantic Council and other right wing think tanks, USAID, as well as “dissidents” from Chechnya and Georgia.
The conference was part love-in, part communal fantasy game in which the participants grew rapturous in projecting the fall of Putin and the break-up of Russia.
Official US policy: “Decolonizing Russia”
It is not just the private think tanks that are preparing to break up Russia — “decolonizing” Russia is also official US policy. The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent commission of the U.S. Federal Government.
In June, 2022, the CSCE held its own conference, called simply “Decolonizing Russia: A Moral and Strategic Imperative”.

These people believe that the socialist USSR was not a force for “liberation” but rather one for “colonisation”. It assumes that Putin is a deranged megalomaniac trying to “reconstitute the Russian Empire”, and whose days are now numbered.
The conference focused on what they called “Russia’s interior empire”, and discussed “Moscow’s dominion over many indigenous non-Russian nations, and the brutal extent to which the Kremlin has taken to suppress their national self-expression and self-determination”.
