Liberals are upset that Russia continues to exist as a single unified state, and not a balkanized conglomeration that can be more easily manipulated and controlled.
Should be worth recalling that the original intent of NATO was to prevent German industrial machines from combining with Russian extractive industry. Now its sort of a moot point, since China has replaced Germany and the US as the industrial workhorse of the world. Perhaps if the Sino-Soviet split had ended sooner (or had never occurred in the first place), the USSR would still be standing and the Americans would have been the ones to collapse in the late 80s.

Carving up Russia into resource suzerains has been a goal of the western powers since the abdication of the Tsar.

unironic
the gardeners are never going to recover from this
Shame it had to be Putin, who's only disgusted with America solely because he thinks Russia should be one doing what America's doing.
