Strayer, Chapter 14 (pp.417-430)

The Russian Empire had a lot of steps, the authorites wanted an oath of allegiances and a paid debt, or in other words a"yasak". There was a large amount of Russian settlers so it made it easier for the Russian Empire to takeover the native settlers. The Siberians and Steppes were involved in the Russian state but in there case the natives weren't overthrown like the Europeans have done to the native settlers. Russia created an empire on four main factors settlement, conquest, religion, and exploitation. These four main factors help establish Russia, which helped give them their own identity.
