Surely, Russia of all countries, would understand why it's a bad idea to invade a region that is cold AF and makes logistics an absolute nightmare. *gestures broadly at WWII*

Of course, this is the same county getting their ass handed to them by Ukraine, a county 100x smaller than they are.

Russia absolutely doesn't understand that, look at maps over time of the country, their control of Siberia is not as old as you'd think. Vladivostok was ceded to Russia in the mid-late 19th century
