    The map makes it appear as if Russia’s primary wars were fought with Europe, but (1) the early modern period saw Iran and the Ottoman turks constantly warring with Russia over the Caucasus, and (2) Russia’s Siberian expansion saw massive colonization of the Central and Northern Eurasian tribal polities such as the Buryat Mongols.

  3. Western Belarus was part of Poland when the Soviets invaded with the Nazis. And the Soviets invaded Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan when they incorporated them into the USSR. Syria should be green as well. It doesn’t matter if the Russians were invited by the Assad regime. It’s still a war that they’re in conflict with Syrians.

    Moldova is questionable given Transnistria is essentially Russian-supported

    Armenia and Azerbaijan had been invaded by the red army.How else do you think they got into the Soviet Union ?

    Is Greece here as Byzantine successor? If it’s the case that’s strange. When did wars with Serbia and North Macedonia occur?

    What idiot decided to use green for *at war* and red for *not at war*?

  8. Poor Germany. What did we do to deserve aggression by another country

  10. HealthZestyclose1646 on

    Presumably Russia should be green in light of the many revolutions

    How is Belarus red when it was invaded by Soviet Russia in 1918?

    Wrong for R. Moldova. The transnistrian war or the moldo-russian war took place in 1992. After R. Moldova declared independence in 1991, following a movement of national awakening in 1989-1990, Russia decided to punish it by encouraging separatist actions in 2 regions: Transnistria and Gagauzia. It mainly used the russian/soviet 14th army that was stationed in Transnistria, local separatist forces (local KGB, local militia, local recruits, etc.), Don and Kuban cossacks, volunteers from all over Russia and Ukraine, etc. R. Moldova did not even have an own army at the start of the conflict and mainly used militia units and an improvised army.

    It was the first or one of the first hybrid wars Russia fought after the dissolution of USSR. The tactics used back then were copied and implemented in their invasions of Ukraine later on. Now it was the ukrainians turn to be labeled as ”fascists” over the night, accused of oppressing the russian minority and what not.

    Although Russia refuses to officially acknowledge its direct involvement in the conflict to this very day (just as it refused to acknowledge its invasion of Crimea in 2014 and to a degree the one in 2022, described as a simple and short ”special operation”), it was president Eltsin of Russia that signed the ceasefire agreement with the president of R. Moldova. De facto admitting that it was Russia that controlled the hostilities the whole time.

    Swear the Russians attacked Kazakhstan multiple times throughout history, the Kazakh khanate, Alash Orda etc.

    When did israel fight Russia? Sure Russia was arming Sadat but this is a stretch I feel.

  16. Russia needs to be green in this map, given the whole “civil war” thing.

  17. What do you mean, Moldova is ‘green’? In 1992, after declaring its independence, Moldova was attacked by the Russians, specifically in the Transnistrian region—a problem that still persists today. I understand that the Russians claimed they weren’t involved, saying it was only locals who opposed independence, but that doesn’t make it true. The Russians always use such excuses. This information comes from a very close friend of mine in Moldova.

  18. No one here has said it yet, so I will: Switzerland should be green too

    Moldova should be included because after independence, transnistria split apart from Moldova with help from the Russian government (with the excuse being that it was majority Russian), or the Russian government stationing a whole battalion or regiment there, I’m not good with military names

  20. Russian troops in Syria? (who’s the legitimate government, especially if you compare it with Soviet soldiers in the Spanish Civil War?)
    Russian troops in Moldova (Transnistria)
    Soviet troops in Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan etc)

  21. Sunscratch on

    Moldova had war with ruzzia, and part of its territory is still occupied(Transnistria ).

  22. Switzerland was at war with Russia when it was under Napoleonic rule, no? 

  23. A moment of silence for all the lives lost in the great Russian-Slovenian war of It Didn’t Happen AD and the brain cells I lost looking at this.

  24. Russian here

    The map makes zero sense.

    Modern Russia has existed since 1991, but the map clumps up Russia, the USSR, and the Russian Empire (and maybe ancient Rus?). But then you would have to do the same for all the other countries – that previously didn’t exist or were parts of something else or were something else entirely.

    For example, Belarus should then be highlighted green, because it used to be the Minsk Dutchy that became the Trakai Voivodeship inside the Grand Dutchy of Lithuania (that was parts of modern Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Moldavia) that had wars with the Moscow Dutchy that later became Imperial Russia that became the USSR that became modern Russia.

    Basically, at this point, it evolves into a hideous monstrosity of “Has your very vaguely defined ethnicity had a war with another very vaguely defined ethnicity?”
