Why do people so often fail to give Russia credit for its military achievements and the vastness they have provided their empire with.

Moscovy did centuries of work creating an empire of Euro nations the size of allEurope, soviets inherited this state that had no seperatism and created other identities to further unify the “Russian” region.

What military achievements you need to get empty tundra?

it's more impressive how they've managed to keep it

by the force or giving minorities special treatment

I go to periscope and ask someone from Novgorod if he is novgorodian and he says he is Russian, now that is a product of moscovita state building.

i'd say it comes down to having programs spreading their people all over the country

Isn't most of that land a cold and barren wasteland?

for example
to keep ukraine under moscow rule, they needed to give them territory like donbass, kharkiv, odessa and crimea

Euro Russia has 4 million sq km of area
The EU is 4 million sq km yet Eastern Euro nations under the Moscovite regime don’t consider themselves separate nations.

>Moscovy
Most of the expansion happened in the 18th century, after the Grand Dutchy of Moscow
>did centuries of work creating an empire of Euro nations
What did he mean by this

Muscovy annexed and assimilated many Eastern Euro nations that called themselves Russians under the stars programs.

a mixed bag i guess
