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
