Accounting for useability it becomes quite different quickly. Most people would take 40 hectars of prime black soil over 5 square kilometres of unuseable swamp.
Also just because Russia is thinly populated doesn’t mean all the good land isn’t already taken (of course it is). The promise of good land to settle on for the survivng soldiers is as old as humans invading other places.
I think the word you’re looking for is “Rossiya” (Россия) /s
But if for real, we don’t have a substitute for the word.
Also expansism isn’t exactly popular, people just don’t care and want to be left alone. Government officials have some really outlandish views, which sometimes leaves you wondering just where in the world could they have heard something like that. Srsly, I’ve never ever heard the words that sometimes come out of their mouths anywhere else. They live in some sort of their own bubble where everybody’s after them and any disobedience is Europe’s commision. Also they treat ex-USSR territories as being unfairly taken from them. It’s nuts.
How do you say “Lebensraum” in Russian?
Amazing they’re trying to sell that in one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.
