The resolution is messed up.
This could be nice one if I havent to open the image to see something
Unlike the other European powers Russia kept their territories
Russia is freaking big during the pre-cold war. Including some parts of central Asia and Eastern Europe. I know that this is a common knowledge. But how can Kremlin able to govern such massive domain?
Usually historians point to Peter the Great (and later Catherine), but the most important ruler was Ivan III, who was also the one who married the niece of the last Palaiologos Byzantine Emperor and started the whole „Third Rome“ project (the Ottomans, the Habsburgs and the Spanish also got some Palaiologos family members to endorse their own claims).
Another key and underrated ruler was Patriarch Filaret, the true founder of the Romanov dynasty, he was quite an ***unholy*** man and he didn’t bring much territorial expansion but he consolidated effective and centralist bureaucratic control after a period that was remarkably similar for the Russians to the Gorbachev-Yeltsin years.

Preatty much last colonial empire that refuse to decolonize and is conquering other terriotires….
Russia’s huge
They had like 3 national collapses already and they’re still the biggest country in the world
give it a couple of years and you’ll be doing the territorial collapse 🤣
And yet they will never get control of Kyiv ever again
Interesting that it expanded far east quicker than nearby parts.
It’s part of Rus under Moscow control till 1493, Rus till 1721 century and Russian Empire till 1917 only, as there is no Tuva and Kaliningrad parts (joined russian ssr in 1945)
I have seen this picture many times and the one thing that makes it stupid is that the author assumes that The Great Principality of Moscow is original Russia. But it was one of the many Russian principalities that existed. By the same logic the original Germany was Prussia, which is obviously ridiculous since it was one of the number of different German states that ended up incorporating other [German states]. Same with the Moscow principality.
