Russia was never broken into states. You may be asking when the Soviet Union (familiarly referred to as "Russia") broke up into 15 independent republics. The breakup started in the spring of 1990 and competed by fall of 1991.
None. The USSR consisted of 15 Republics including Russia. At the breakup of the USSR, each of the Republics eventually became an independent country - * Armenia * Azerbaijan * Belorussia * Estonia * Georgia (Gruziya) * Kazakhstan * Kirghizstan * Latvia * Lithuania * Moldavia * Russia * Tadzhikistan * Turkmenistan * Ukraine * Uzbekistan Each of the former Soviet Republics is now self-determining although Russia still acts as the diplomatic and consular representative for several of the Central Asian countries.
