Abstract
The demise of the Soviet Union and the subsequent emergence of the Commonwealth of Independent States did not solve the problems created by different centrifugal forces within Russia. This conveys the ominous message to peace-loving people everywhere that the Russian Federation, still the biggest country in the world in land mass, is under threat of disintegration like the former Soviet Union.

Notes
In 1985, I wrote a book entitled The Dream of Sultangaliev, the date of publication of which coincided fortuitiously with the Alma-Ata unrest. The book describes Sultangaliev’s ideas and actions. But, at the time, various aspects of his life remained obscure. I was unable to determine the exact dates of his birth, his death, or even whether he had married or not. Masayuki Yamauchi, Surutangariefu no yume (The Dream of Sultangaliev) (Tokyo: University of Tokyo Press, 1985).
In this chapter, I would like to elaborate on the discussion in my earlier book, and to modify information advanced by Bennigsen and Chantal-Quelquejay, in their 1960 study, and by Bennigsen and Wimbush, in 1979.
