Are there any republics within Russia that could have declared independence from the USSR?

I'm guessing you mean "in addition to Chechenya"?

I'm sorry, I've had to remove your question as it violates our rules against hypothetical and "what if?" questions. With that in mind, your follow up question "Were there any independence movements within Tuva or any other areas of Russia?" is perfectly fine, and if you like you can re-submit that question as a separate post.
