Right now the US is a bigger threat to the world than Russia.
Let's also not forget who helped create modern capitalist Russia in the first place.
as bad as tzarist russia was, this was true even then. tzarist russia didnt have racialized chattel slavery AFAIK, and their conquest of the far east was much less destructive to the indigenous people living there. destructive, but not armageddon twice and another helping on sunday destructive.
the US is a champion at this, is what i'm saying, in the league of the big european colonial powers, while everyone else is just trying to get into the premier league.
Fun fact (horrible but unsurprising fact, actually): as part of their quasi-feudal colonialism they enslaved a bunch of indigenous people in the Pribilof islands as serfs, and then sold those islands to the US who kept the local people enslaved as serfs into the 1950s. My original bookmark for this is dead, but I found it on archive.org.
but yeah, russia didnt have US style chattel slavery partly because they had serfs and the way that worked in tzarist russia, it was slavery with extra steps. so they didnt need it. IIRC one of the tzars ended it officially, but i expect it continued informally for quite a while. probably until lenin.
AAAAAAAAA
There's anecdote that during the reign of Catherine the Great administration legitly forgot some of the peoples in Russia even existed, the example was that Chukchas delegation arrived at Petersburg and great consternation ensued who those people even are.
