You forgot Soviet Russia (as in pre-WW2). And the fact Putin actually reinforced his claims with some 400 year old territorial claim.

But from our perspective if the people oppressing us speak the same language, and have a capital in the same city over 200 years thats a sign something might be up with what they believe in under whatever facade stands there.
