To continue that discussion, re the Baltic states, Crimea, the Ukraine, and other things, if one wanted to pull pieces away from Russia, as well as, now, to properly prevent it from taking back its former areas, because frankly it has always been geographically too large, and even if one wanted to have done some partition of Russia into smaller, more politically manageable, and reasonably sized states, the time to have tried to do that is long past.
That time was in 1918 and after, in the aftermath of WWI, when the Bolsheviki took over the Russian Empire starting in 1917.
At that time, Bolshevik Russia became a real, large, and present danger to the West, a danger that was never seriously addressed.
