The Czar was limited to Russia, the Soviet empire killed and destroyed everywhere from Eastern Europe to North Korea

You clearly have not heard of the Russian EMPIRE. Who do you think it was that colonised Russia as far as North Korea and invaded Manchuria?
Seriously, you don't understand what you're talking about if you think the Czar solely ruled what is now modern-day Russia.

I never said that it was limited to modern day Russia.
The Russian empire never ruled over North Korea or all of Eastern Europe. If in doubt, you can google it.

Russian Empire was as active, if not more, than the British Empire. Russia was always very good about using fronts. Like for instance how they setup the Shahdom in Iran and had it protected by Russian soldiers for decades.
Russia is only a century out of tsardom, they still are into world domination attempts though.

North Korea was supported by the USSR to a large extent though. It was a richer country than south korea up until the 1970's. The really bad times in North Korea happened during the war (from american bombing) and after the collapse of the USSR, which resulted in a famine (the arduous march).
