Photos: Map of North Caucasus and Chechnya after Russian bombings.

In 1818, when Russian forces attempted to conquer the Northern Caucasus, they encountered a population that refused to be subdued. In answer to the guerrilla warfare that the indigenous population unleashed against the invaders, Russia burned villages to the ground, incinerated forests and took civilians as hostages. Although by 1864 Russia had incorporated the region into its empire, ethnic and religious tensions percolated and would erupt in a new wave of violence over a century later with the Chechen Wars in the 1990s. The mass deportations of 1944 led to the displacement of the entire Chechen population, far away to Siberia, and the deaths of 40% of the entire population.

Russian Colonialism and Imperialism from the end of the Russian Empire to 2022, including invasions, attacks, crushing of anti-colonial revolts, colonization campaigns, genocides, and military crimes.

Russian colonialism dominated much of the world in the 19th century. The legacies of Russian colonial domination can be most felt during the 20th century, mostly during the Soviet period in occupied Europe, the Caucasus (Chechnya, Ingushetia, Georgia, Armenia, etc.), Central Asia, and Afghanistan.

In 2022, the modern Russian government's practice of modern colonialism, which includes invasions, occupations, brutal crimes against indigenous peoples such as murders with knives, mass deportations, arrests and executions of indigenous leaders, installation of puppet authorities, and illegal land seizures, make reconciliation and healing with former Russian colonies difficult. Denial of colonial crimes of the past, particularly during WWII, were already major hurdles to reconciliation in the 21st century.
The legacies of devastating and genocidal crimes of the Russian Empire before 1916 and the 19th century cannot be ignored, but this graphic focuses on the past century's profound legacy on Russian oppression in 2022.

Certain nations suffered far worse under Russian oppression while others suffered on a much smaller scale from small Russian military operations. Colonialism includes not just direct Russian rule, but domination through puppet dictatorships that brought widespread death, starvation, destruction, and terror over lands they ruled or made war in, with North Korea and the Korean War as an example. Imperialism, which is a much broader term, can include limited military operations that lead to gross human rights abuses against civilians, with operations in Sub-Saharan Africa as examples.

: 'Hold on.” Syrian enclave marks uprising with message for Ukraine on 3 March 2022.

Syrians support Ukrainian people in struggle against Russian colonialism and occupation.

"Fortify your hospitals with cement blocks. The enemy, Putin, does not distinguish between civilians, the wounded, or fighters," one man said.

Another man being interviewed by France 24 said:

"What is happening in Ukraine today is the similar to the situation here. The enemy is the same. The goal is the same. We ask the Ukrainians to transfer the case to the UN, because they are the only ones who can stop Putin, the criminal."

Human rights groups report cases of soldiers ra**ng, beating, and threatening women with weapons. They have been carrying out home invasions and killing relatives of their victims. Here is a testimony of a case in Russian-occupied

Volunteer Vira Khvust recounted the case of her friend who had been r***d for more than a week. The case has been confirmed by the Ukrainian woman Denisova.

“Yesterday I received a message from the person I was looking for in all [Facebook] groups in Kharkiv. My dear Liuba. We have been friends for 10 years. Her story is one of those that destroy from the inside. Writing it, I feel unbearable pain.

She is 29. She lived all her life with her mother. For the last 3 years, her mother had been an invalid. A few days after the war began, as there was already a hole in their house, three Russians broke into their apartment. They took the food, and one of them remained. He broke her phone.

Liuba, my dear, who never cries, burst into tears. This nit r***d her for more than a week.

And then he began to confess his great love and said he wanted to send her away from the war. She refused, saying that her mother was ill, she would not leave her. And then, this s**t, in front of a fragile Liuba, shot the weak old woman. God, I’m writing this, and it doesn’t fit in my head. I live each story as coldly as possible so as not to go crazy, but not this one. It’s like, personal. It hurts…My dear Liuba is currently on her way to the rehabilitation center, from where she will go abroad. But I can’t stop crying.”– Vira Khvust
