How big can Russia get?

Considering Russia went from Muscovy and the Ukraine to the Baltic, the Pacific, and Central Asia and the Arctic in as short a time as it did, what is the maximum size Russia could have achieved?
 
EEK! That's one Uber-Russia.... Although maybe we should add Finland, Alaska, a bit more of the Balkans, and possibly Northern California.... XD
 
The Russians controlled Alaska and I think had an outpost in San Francisco, so conceivably the Russians could control all of the West Coast.

It would be interesting if the Spanish arrived and found Russian settlers and Eastern Orthodox natives.
 
Something maybe along the lines of Tony jones Puritan World

yikes, it looks like Russia is eating away at China!

Continue expansion of the Russian empire likely would be at the expense of Persia, Afghanistan and other central Asian states, along with land at the expense of the Chinese Empire, perhaps even Korea and parts of Japan considering how aggressive the expansion is. As for North America apart from the Alaska Territory, perhaps down the west coast to central California and a bit into the interior in northern California and Oregon and Washington. In Canada perhaps the Yukon and sections of the Northwest Territory. And a wildcard is the brief Russian interests in Hawaii.
 
And thus, the only final logical step I can take is to add all those wanks together into one unbelievably wanked out Russia.

Behold, a Russia that would have to be the luckiest in the world to achieve this size:eek: (Ignore the rest of the world, the map is unfinished and will probably remain that way)

I disagree...you could wank it more. In RL, Russia has Konigsberg, and settled California. I will give it a try...:)
 
In my Chaos TL, Russia had Poland, Finland, Bohemia and almost all the Balcans (except Hungary, Greece and Croatia), plus the whole American west coast, northern China, Korea, Hokkaido, and the north of Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan.
