The Russians committed so many genocides to natives all over Eurasia you cant even count them...yet no one today cares. There are whole groups of people basically erased because of them

Including Circassian genocide in mid 19th century. Some people in North Caucasus (also in Turkey, which received survivors) still try to keep this memory alive. If Kerch bridge survives, maybe one day it could help link Crimea and Circassia. But how far should we go back in history - what about Genghis Khan? The Mongol empire split Kievan Rus - Ivan Grozni would have argued he was fighting back. Now it's 21st century we need general agreement not to make any empires great again.
