  1. The reason immigration is so large in Russia is because Russia occupied so many non-Russian regions, and still does. If you conquer so much of the world, then yes, people come with it, if you don't like that, then leave occupied territories. Russians only have the Russian state to blame for this.

  2. If you think the USSR was not an empire I despair with you.

  3. Less than thirty years ago it wasn't. Russia wanted an empire, it got one, now it has to deal with the consequences of that empire. Same as Britain where I am from.

  4. I wouldn't say 'must' but I would say 'will'. It's not a moral obligation, it's just a practical fact, if you occupy nations, your's will see an influx of those who are occupied.

  5. Once more Grangil, my argument is not a moral argument, it is a practical one, I'm not saying nations there's a duty or anything, I'm saying imperial powers are attractive destinations, and if you don't want to be an attractive destination, don't be an imperial power. I don't feel guilt, but I acknowledge the British empire is the reason the UK is such a popular immigration destination.

  6. In principle, but reality check for a moment and realise that it was an empire in practise.

  7. Russians aren't to blame to the extent any people that lets itself get subjugated by an authoritarian state is not the blame, certainly one cannot be held accountable for the aggressions of others, but the onus remains solely on you to end them.
