***** Stalin killed more Russians before the war than Hitler did during it. The estimate is around 20 million. Although it could easily be double that.
The gulags were nothing like normal prisons. They were a feature of Tsarist Russia, but were massively expanded by Stalin. As well as holding political prisoners, the gulag concentration camps were home to whole sections of society that were considered enemies of the state. Such as the Kulak peasant class who had most to lose from communist collectivisation. And whole ethnic populations were deported on mass to gulag concentration camps from the Balkans and other 'liberated' countries after the war. Never to be seen again. About 14 million people were in Russia's concentration camp system from 1929 to 1953.
As for your list, I notice you have included such places as France (1941-1945). Along with other European nations the US helped liberate from nazi Germany. It seems you have done the same as regards to the first world war. So clearly your list does not take into account the historical context of any of the countries mentioned.
I wonder how large Russia's list would be using the same criteria? You would most certainly have to include any country Russia fought against during world war one and two as you have in your US list. But of course, unlike the US, the Russians never liberated anyone after the war. They simply added Russian occupied Europe to their Soviet Empire.
And as has been already pointed out, Russia has a far longer history than the US. So any list of countries invaded and occupied by Russia would be vastly larger. And would naturally include any country Russia has ever gone to war with. Along with modern day Syria, Ukraine, Germany, Georgia, and many others. As well as any other country where slightly more than a handful of Russian solders happen to be stationed.

***** Much like a German neo-nazi would deny the crimes of nazi Germany, I would expect nothing more from a Russian nationalist Putin supporter than to deny the crimes of soviet Russia. And Russia has indeed invaded modern day Georgia and Ukraine. Once again, only nationalist Russians continue to deny this truth.
I included Germany in my very short list for the very same reasons you included it in your list. Or did you just cut and paste without reading it? I included modern day Syria for the same reasons you include Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
''...Not even to mention that Russia has never practiced Western style of taking other countries as "colonies" to suck dry their wealth policy,''
It most certainly has. During the Tsarist Empire, Russia expanded east and south into the Caucasus at the expense of the Persian Empire. In Crimea, for example, the Russians deported pretty much the entire ethnic Crimean Tatar population. Don't you know Russian history?
''...in fact Russia has always heavily invested in the territories it has gained trough conflicts that were usually started by the West AGAINST Russia.''
I guess you should try convincing the entirety of Eastern Europe of that. As many countries are yet to recover from Russian soviet occupation.
''...Oh and Russians never liberated anyone? Not even from Ottoman rule? Or even from under Nazi occupation? You must have something wrong in your head then.''
No. The Russians never liberated anyone in Eastern Europe after the war. They simply carried on doing what they did before the war. They annexed whole countries to their soviet empire. It was basically just one genocidal tyrant taking over from another.
''...meanwhile USA has only increased its colonial hold on Eastern Europe trough NATO''
Eastern Europe is now part of the democratic world. They are members of NATO by choice. The only way you can claim they are 'colonised' by the US is to deny that they are democratic. Which is seen as an insult by a great many Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, etc.
Up until recently, there were very few US troops based in Eastern Europe. Just a couple of training bases in Bulgaria and Rumania. This has changed since Russia's invasion and occupation of Ukraine. And a force of some 4,000 NATO troops are to be sent to Poland. This is hardly surprising given Poland's history with Russia.
As for 'Russophobia'. This comment thread started off about Putin and his fake elections. But as always, Russian's have to turn everything into a rant against the US. You all seem completely obsessed by the US. Just like the North Koreans. And we all know what North Korea is like, don't we?
