That amounts to nothing though.

imo the reasons are:
-too much internal conflict already
-little access to the sea
-lots of available land if they need it
-not being inbred islanders

dude, they occupied three continents and had possibly the third-largest empire ever

too far land will never be developed simply and will be lost in a long run to some other power

then again you have just enough land already, we are not fucking romans or brits to colonize everything and its physically impossible with russian-style colonization (i.e. without too much genocide)

Part of America (Alaska) was partly Russian. But it was sold for a pittance

i know that but, still i doesnt make sense when euros cross the whole ocean and defeat f.e aztecs and colonize the whole new world, while russians can just walk down and take lands from non-advanced people

Ural and Siberia are russian colonies

>>76280061

The Asian part of Russia is almost non-populated to this day. Previously, it was almost uninhabited, with a very unfavorable climate. I'm surprised that I could at least get to there on foot and survive.

Russia colonized the whole Siberia, what more do you want

Colonial powers need a navy. Russia has never controlled a warm water port with direct open ocean access in it's history and still doesnt today. So they had to rely on land based colonisation and it's always easier to migrate east and west than it is to migrate north and south due to similarities in climate and ability to grow agriculture.

yeah we totally don't have a port just near japan, let alone baltic ports and murmansk that never freezes due to gulfstream

>yeah we totally don't have a port just near japan
Vladivostok freezes on average 4 months every year, usually around Christmas until April.

>let alone baltic ports
Pretty sure travelling through strait is the exact opposite to having direct open ocean access

>murmansk that never freezes due to gulfstream
While Murmansk itself never freezes and the Barents sea usually doesnt, the surrounding Arctic Ocean does.

its open for navigation tho the only downside is that you have to travel near norway first before you can go into the ocean, but its a short route
also we have islands much closer to japan i think its possible to build something there
i don't know about Sakhalin
