Russian irredentism (Russian: русский ирредентизм) are territorial claims made by the Russian Federation to regions that were historically part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, which Russian nationalists regard as part of the "Russian world". It is an expansionist movement that seeks to create a Greater Russia by politically incorporating ethnic Russians and Russian speakers living in territories bordering Russia.
