The Soviet Union was actively supporting all anti-colonial freedom movements throughout Africa, ME, and Asia. If you are talking about the Imperial Russia of the 1800's, remember they got defeated in World War I and finally in the Civil War of 1917. Every country has skeletons in their closets. We are talking about belligerent parties at this moment.
Exactly 1800s. Besides that Al Jazeera is hostile to the Russians, and article is written by an Ukrainian- just saying.
No, I was "brainwashed" by the Yugoslavian education system that was both critical of the Western and the Soviet hegemony. Yugoslavia that was destroyed by the West, in 1991 and 1999. That one.
Yes, I have noticed Al Jazeera's bias against Russia (though it's coverage of the Ukraine war initially and its anti-NATO stance is quite objective).
Yes, Yugoslavia was a victim of the US Empire and NATO - completely agree with you on that. And no, I wasn't talking about "education". I was talking about "propaganda" - there is Russian propaganda just as there is US propaganda, Chinese propaganda, Indian propaganda, etc.
Thank you for that russian_bot. Yes, Al Jazeera does have an anti-Russian bias (I'm with you on the Navalny issues - every one of them - no disagreements there).
True, source is an important factor. Hence, consult other sources too. But if you listen to ONLY Russian sources or ONLY pro-Russian sources, you might find similar distortions and biases there too.
There are no quick/easy answers. Multiple, disparate sources need to be considered to eliminate as much bias as possible.

Here's a suggestion: do a search on Russian imperialism and colonization (then narrow it down to Africa, Middle-East, etc.)
Read up on what you find.
