	Review of "Dissolution" by Edward Walker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Walker argues that the answer is the Soviet Union's curious federal structure, in which each ethnic group was given its own homeland whose status varied with respect to the size and importance of the titular nationality.
		The most important nationalities were given 'Union' republics - the 15 constituent members of the USSR - with "sovereignty" and an official (though meaningless for nearly all of Soviet history) right to secede from the Union.
		Walker discusses their fears that the breakup of the Soviet Union would be accompanied by a series of civil wars similar to those that later plagued the former Yugoslavia - with the added complication, of course, that the USSR had huge stockpiles of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and materials.
