I'm sure you know already but Russia consistently not only approaches, but violates the airspace of neighbouring countries.

Approach certainly, but actual violations of airspace are extremely rare.

There are actual political scientists writing studies on Russian airspace violations.

Yes, there are many incidents but the vast majority aren't airspace violations in the strict sense. Just some aircraft coming close to territorial waters or harassing other aircraft or ships.
