    Russia’s colonialism in land amount is comparable to France/England. Anything East of the Urals was never Russia before the 1600s

    of course all of this happened before the USSR and has nothing to do with it, the twitter guy is a moron

    And it’s also undebatable that Siberian Natives were treated better than American ones. Although you can also chalk this up to them having better weapons and disease resistance

      Siberian Natives were hit pretty hard by smallpox, but they recovered, because Russian policy was “pay taxes and we’ll fuck off”, not “we’ll kill you all and settle your land”.
