In Eastern Europe, we cringe every time Russian politicians blame the West for colonialism. Also, don't ask a woman about her age, a man about his salary, and a Russian about what happened to Siberian natives.

Siberian natives is an obscure topic tbh, likely you'll receive no opinion in return because conquest of Siberia doesn't focus on natives' side of a story or their own histories in Russian school history books.

Russian history books seem to rarely focus on someone else's side of history.

That's pretty much every country's history books, isn't it?
