Russian settlers are individuals or groups who moved from Russia to other regions, often seeking new opportunities or land. This migration has occurred throughout history, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries, when many Russians settled in areas like Siberia and parts of North America. These settlers often brought their culture, traditions, and agricultural practices to the new lands. The motivations for Russian settlement varied, including economic hardship, political unrest, or the desire for adventure. Some settlers established communities that contributed to the local economy and culture, while others faced challenges such as harsh climates and conflicts with indigenous populations.
