President Vladimir Putin's chief of administration Dmitri Medvedev said that Russia could break up into several different countries
President Vladimir Putin's chief of administration Dmitri Medvedev warned yesterday that Russia could break up into several different countries and proposed the creation of "super-regions".

He said the Kremlin was considering a plan under which Russia's 89 regions may be merged into several "super-regions". He said this could be "a way of developing the federation within the existing constitution".
