And still most of current Russian territory is colonian expansion, with subjugation of native cultures and people continuing well into present day.

Have you tried renting an apartment in Moscow without “Slavic” looks?

You seem to assume that in some fashion, the minorities would be the winners of totalitarian cult's actions. They would not. The minorities would be better off living in a stable, lawful and democratic society, even if it does not try to declare war on the majority.

Russians do not run their country for a century, but yeah, they may respond by not renting you their crappy and overpriced flat.

Who is "ruling" the modern USA colonialism/white oppression discourse? It's not an ethnic group for sure.
