The borders underwent a large inward contraction in 1991.

This is still conflating the USSR and Russia. The Russian SFSR, AFAICT, had exactly the same borders as Russia did before it started biting off pieces of its neighbors.

Well, sure, with enough motivated cognition, it is possible to fit the facts to your preferred narrative.

In that case the borders never moved and you can't say they only spill outward.

No, you're wrong here. Russian SFSR initally included the whole Central Asia, Caucasus countries, Crimea and eastern parts of Ukrainian SSR. Russian SFSR border you talking about is from circa 1956.
