At the beginning, there was Novgorod and Moscow. Novgorod was a commercial center with some freedums, while Moscow was the backward authoritarian shithole it ever was. Then Moscow massacred the people of Novgorod. Then there was the Tsars. They went on a rampage on the natives far in the East to Alaska. Thus the Russian Empire was born.
Had a very large underclass. Ultimately suffered because of it.
Had great potential if they would have continued westernizing. Instead, the upper castes pumped otu shit tons of great culture, but ended up completely erased by the working class.
