I get around these days
Yesterday, I had a blog visit from readers in Lithuania; Lithuania is a small state Northeast of Poland, bordering the Baltic Sea. Like many states in the area, until recently it was under the control of Russia.
I would imagine with the internal turmoil in the the old motherland, Russia is glad to not have to worry about its satellite states. The age of the Empire does not last long, they cost too much to keep, and there is always conflict with the country you occupy; it doesn't matter if you talk about the Inca, the Aztec, Roman, or British Empire, the troubles are the same.
