Territorial Aims of the Russian Empire in Asia and Europe
The article narrates Russia's long expansion from medieval roots to a modern empire, detailing moves from Livonia to Siberia, Finland, Poland, the Caucasus, Turkestan, and finally Manchuria. It argues Russia seeks continuous land gains, not rapid conquest, through war, diplomacy, and settlement, with Peter the Great and Catherine the Great expanding the empire and positing Armageddon-like ambition for Asia, including Mukden and Port Arthur.
