keep thinking there's a Russian empire which ended in 1917?
Wrong.
What makes you an empire is ruling over other nations by force, colonizing their land, erasing their identity—and calling it ‘unity.’
And that’s exactly what the
Moscow
empire has done for centuries.
Let’s be clear:
This is not some innocent “federation with security concerns.”
This is a
Mongol-style empire in imperial drag, forged in violence and maintained through fear, with roots far older—and darker—than the Soviet empire .
Historical Reality: Muscovy Was Born Mongol
The
modern Russian state was born as a vassal of the Mongol Golden Horde.
Moscow didn't resist the Mongols—it
collaborated, collecting tribute from other Slavic peoples for the khans.
That collaboration
taught Muscovy the imperial system it still uses today:
- Centralized power under one ruler
- Total subjugation of ethnic peripheries
- Ruthless suppression of identity and religion
- Expansion by conquest, not by culture or trade
(More on that here:
Mongol Foundations of the Moscow State – University of Washington
How Mongol Rule Gave Birth to the Moscow Empire – GW2)
This was
never a Western-style nation-state.
It has
always been a
prison of nations, from Kazan to Crimea, from Chechnya to Chukotka.
The Borders Define the Empire
The
current borders of the Russian Federation include dozens of forcibly assimilated nations—not “regions,” not “republics,” but
conquered peoples who’ve never truly been allowed to leave.
Tatarstan. Buryatia. Yakutia. Chechnya. Ingushetia. Circassia.
And yes,
Ukraine and Belarus, still seen as disobedient provinces, not sovereign states.
It’s not just ambition.
It’s occupation.
It’s Moscow acting like the Golden Horde never ended—and still demands tribute, fear, and silence.
So no—this isn’t a normal country acting out of “national interest.”
This is a Mongol-Muscovite imperial system desperately trying to avoid the fate of all empires:
collapse.

The Truth
Moscow isn’t trying to “revive an empire.”
It never stopped being one.
And it never will be anything else—
unless it decolonizes.
Because the Mongol empire collapsed. The Romanovs collapsed. The Bolsheviks collapsed.
And the
Moscow empire will collapse too.
The only question is:
How many nations have to bleed before the world finally calls it by its real name?
permanent peace can be achieved only thue
decolonization .
