Why did the USSR break apart at ethnic lines? Because it organized itself around national self-determination ensuring that each ethnic nation got it’s own Republic. The entire structure of the USSR was built around ethnic lines to begin with because they believed it was critical that every ethnicity be self-determining. They even had a constitutional right for each state to secede legally because they felt that if you didn’t have the right to secede then you didn’t actually have the right to self-determination.
Also, what do you mean by “inherited the Tsardom”. You realized they killed the aristocracy and dismantled the entire Tsarist structure right? Or do you think that Vietnam is actually a French colony still, too?
I’m from exYu country and my outlook on history is that Marxism was more or less just a vehicle for various 19th century national programs to get implemented. DPRK, China and Vietnam parties also in large part derive their legitimacy from national liberation and the whole class war is more of an undertone.
