The revived old British goal of Balkanizing Russia being foiled when Yeltsin yielded control to Putin is the root cause of the whole "Russia, Russia, Russia" meme. Hillary pumped it up as her excuse for losing the election because she wouldn't be in power and able to deliver what she promised to the people who have since '91 been determined to break Russia into multiple, warring, States.
Her being able to get the media behind it and making it the standard government meme is the only reason why she's still breathing.
Unfortunately, at the moment it seems like Trump is being led down the yellow brick road to the same destination just without Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow getting the payoffs they were promised along the way.
Which explains why the Germans were so anxious to get Lenin back to Russia.
