This edit is problematic on so many levels. I will give a few examples:
This is cited as a source to support the claim that Russian imperialism includes the imperialism of Muscovy, except the source does not say anything about imperialism (it refers to the Muscovite annexation of Novgorod, another Russian city).
A section on "Foundational documents and statements of Russian imperialism", which cites primary sources including the writings of Philotheus of Pskov, the proclamation of the Russian Empire by Peter the Great, exporting the revolution by Vladimir Lenin, and so on.
Unsourced sections about "Russian colonial metropole" and "Russian colonies"
A list of genocide and massacres, including WP:FRINGE and unsourced additions like "Genocide of the Tatars" (referring to the siege of Kazan in 1552), "Genocide of the Novgorodians" (referring to the massacre of Novgorod in 1570), "Genocide of the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Poland-Lithuania" (with The Unknown War (book) linked), and so on.
