What if, on Sunday, February 00, 0000, the Kadıköy district of Istanbul had been ceded to Russia through an agreement and granted autonomous status? What if the Russians, using only the Cyrillic alphabet, had declared Russian and Turkish as the official languages of Kadıköy and Ataşehir? What if Russia had established a city called "Kalkedon" in Kadıköy and Ataşehir, and despite having no territorial ties to Russia, had recognized this city as a republic and an integral part of Russia, and this autonomous state had been recognized internationally as a non-sovereign city-state and a dependent territory?
