By deporting native people from their land and replacing them with russians?
Was it entire people or just the elite?
which just meant shipping resources to moscow as the expense of the countries they illegally occupied.
Do you have numbers? I have seen numbers that like before the war, Russia exported oil for cheap. The fewer resources compared to today were caused by the smaller economy.
Here’s just Estonia:
SOVIET REPRESSION AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN ESTONIA
Before Soviet occupation:
Population of Estonia: ~1.13 million
Ethnic Estonians: ~1.0 million (~88%)
Ethnic Russians: ~90,000 (~8%)
Soviet repression:
People deported from Estonia: ~50,000
June 1941 mass deportation: ~10,000
March 1949 mass deportation: ~20,000–21,000
Men forcibly mobilized and transported into the USSR in 1941: ~32,000–34,000
People murdered, imprisoned, or deported by the Soviet regime: more than 75,000
Identified victims who were killed or died in imprisonment/forced resettlement and never returned: more than 22,000
By 1989, near the end of Soviet occupation:
Population of Estonia: ~1.57 million
Ethnic Estonians: ~963,000 (61.5%)
Ethnic Russians: ~475,000 (~30%)
Ukrainians: ~48,000
Belarusians: ~28,000
Demographic change:
Ethnic Russian population increased from ~90,000 to ~475,000
Net increase in ethnic Russian population: ~385,000
Estonian share of the population fell from ~88% to 61.5%
Despite nearly 50 years passing, there were slightly fewer ethnic Estonians living in Estonia in 1989 than before Soviet occupation.
This isn’t some Russo phobia or anti communism thing. What they have done is fucking awful and anyone who spews some bullshit about NATO expanding and threatening russia can go fuck themselves. Russia represents an existential threat to its neighbors and it has no one to blame for that sentiment besides itself.
What I don’t understand is the logic of the resettlement. Most migrants are in one county close to Russia. That’s only a bit more helpful to influence the population than having them live across the border in Russia.

I asked for numbers about:
What your numbers don’t show is the class war. The people who were deported, were they part of the elite or regular citizens?
It also seems like the migrants are not only Russians:

Glad you’re focused on how they shipped more resources to moscow and leningrad instead of the human impact. Tells a lot about you.
