A lot of places are already named after what the indigenous people called them, it wouldn't be that much of a difference.

Below is a very brief timeline of when each republic left the USSR.

Lithuania – March 11, 1990
Estonia – March 30, 1990 (effective – August 20, 1991)
Latvia – May 4, 1990 (effective – August 21, 1991)
Georgia – April 9, 1991
Ukraine – August 24, 1991
Byelorussia/Belarus – August 25, 1991
Moldova – August 27, 1991
Kyrgyzstan – August 31, 1991
Uzbekistan – September 1, 1991
Tajikistan – September 9, 1991
Armenia – September 21, 1991
Azerbaijan – October 18, 1991
Turkmenistan – October 27, 1991
Russian SFSR/Russian Federation – December 12, 1991
Kazakhstan – December 16, 1991

However, the 15 Republics were not the only bits of the USSR who tried to declare independence, several other bits of the Soviet Union also tried to breakaway during this time including:

Abkhazia – August 25, 1990 (Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within Georgian SSR)
Tatarstan – August 30, 1990 (Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within Russia)
Transnistria – September 2, 1990 (part of Moldavian SSR)
Gagauzia – August 19, 1991 (part of Moldavian SSR)
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic – September 2, 1991 (part of Azerbaijan SSR)
Chechen Republic of Ichkeria – November 1, 1991 (part of Russian SSR)
South Ossetia – November 28, 1991 (part of Georgian SSR)

huh wonder why you never hear of Gagauzia in the news

Purposely picking names that would upset people on every side of an issue. Only referring to New York City as the "Ancient City of New Amsterdam" or something along those lines.

Referring to Washington, D.C. as the ancient conquered territories of whomever was there prior to the U.S. being a thing.

"The Ancient British Territory of Maine"

There is a much nearer observation area where you can look down into a pit of sulfur, as well as hiking trails. That video was shot a bit further away where they do/did some pony rides. I hope the ponies are OK and the nearer area was closed for the day.

There is a pretty good exclusion zone around this one, but the actual caldera is gigantic and populated. Check it out in Flight Simulator if you got it.
