Russia did not secede from the USSR.

Technically it did. Of course, since the USSR was, in terms of its relations with member republics, merely the Russian Empire modernized, and the equality of republics within it as much a fiction as the democratic quality of the system as a whole, that amounted to Russia giving up the empire and not to a true secession.

Everything else you said was true.
