Here's a link to a very interesting (and very long!) blog article about the history of Russian colonialism and imperialism.
https://damienmarieathope.com/2023/04/decolonize-russia-siberian-land-backrussian-conquest-of-siberia-and-the-spread-of-russian-imperialism-colonialism/
The key statement for me is this one:
“The Russian colonization of Siberia and conquest of its indigenous peoples has been compared to the European colonization of the Americas and its natives, with similar negative impacts on the natives and the appropriation of their land."
And then the author adds:
"I hate ALL imperialism: American imperialism and Russian imperialism.”
Me too!
