Russians are as populous as they are because you systematically expelled indigenous peoples from lands you conquered and colonized, most notable the northern Caucasus where you expelled the Adyghe and the far east where you expelled the Manchus

If you are of ethnic European descent, including Russian, your bloodline's history is literally thousands of years of conquest in every direction

This isn't prescriptive, its descriptive. Human history is conquer or be conquered
