What people often tend to forget is that Russia colonized half of Asia. Russia is still a colonial empire, but because we're used to it that all that landmass is Russia, they don't fall prey to a negative public opinion in the world.

the colonization of Siberia and Far East is a little bit different.

There are many people who say "decolonize russia!!!" Today. Infact, pretty much the opposite of what you said is true, because they arent actually colonies, they were integrated and their people were made into russian nobility.@@arthurlecomte8950

@@poltavskiy_can_explain We could go on an on about forgotten colonial 'empires' such as Oman, Denmark, and even Sweden. Oh, and also that one time where the ottomans went to Sumatra and had some tributary/vassal state in there for centuries. There's a lot that people often ignore in colonization ALONE.

After his return to Russia, Achinov voiced his plans for an 1888 expedition to the Gulf of Tadjoura to establish a settlement, while claiming to be a free Cossack. Achinov assured the participants that Mohammed Loitah had permanently leased him land in the region.[10] It was purely on his own initiative, and without the involvement of the Russian government, that on 10 December 1888, Achinov along with 165 Terek Cossacks boarded the Kornilov, a ship heading from Odessa to Alexandria. Notice something? The fact there was no official Russian government involvement maybe? Or that he was a Cossack so you could claim he was Ukrainian, no?

as i said in the video, tsar acted like - okey, do whatever you want, just don’t involve us into your dreams. About cossacks - cossacks wasn’t only in Ukraine, and not only ukrainians. They were a combined society of russians, ukrainians and other people

St Petersburg actually supported him initially but after learning that Ashinov was a liar and nowhere near as competent as he made himself out to be they withdrew support.
