Russian settlers are individuals or groups who moved from Russia to establish communities in new territories. This migration often occurred during various periods of Russian history, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries, when the Russian Empire expanded its borders. Settlers sought new opportunities, land, and resources, contributing to the development of regions such as Siberia and parts of North America. These settlers played a significant role in shaping the cultural and economic landscape of the areas they inhabited. They brought with them their traditions, agricultural practices, and social structures, which influenced local communities. The legacy of Russian settlers can still be seen today in the cultural diversity and historical narratives of the regions they settled.
