Much of Russia is the area in Asia, or Siberia. Siberia was, and for the most part is, lightly inhabited, and a difficult land to settle. Thus, other nations were not interested in it. A good part of European Russia is at high latitudes, and is also not highly settled. Again, in the absence of competitors, Russia expanded to the Arctic.
