Oil, minerals, testing area, access to pacific, arctic, etc.
There's no such thing as too much if you have the right resources to handle the territory.

Just because the plan doesn't work 100% of the time doesn't mean it isn't a viable plan. The lack of defensive barriers means strategic depth is one of their best hopes. That's why they are so desperate to gain a larger sphere of influence and why they get butthurt when NATO gains ground and denies Russia a sphere of influence.
