Russian territories.

For the discussion of Russian territories, former, current and future.

Well primarily the schedule for the reclamation of lost territories such as Finland and Alaska aswell as the CIS nations.

I don't think anyone at Kremlin even considers reclaiming Alaska or Finland. Northern Kazakhstan, on the other hand is a different story. If there's a plan for it, it should only consider territories with Russian population which would be easy to incorporate and control. Basically, consolidate nation state after demise of Soviet Union.

Malorossiya is just as much Russia as malopolska is polska.

Maybe then Narva, even if it is just a city.

As far as Alaska, it would be possible only after a collapse of USA in style of Soviet Union, with dissolution in several countries

Northern Kazakhstan is barely of any strategic value - it's worthless to take it if doing so means a complete alienation of the rest of Kazakhstan. In addition the Russian population there is slowly decreasing regardless.

Somehow I do not see pindostan coming to a sticky end as unlikely.

It depends also on what kind of leadership Russia will have at that time. As an example, after the fall of Jugoslavia, Italy should have claimed back Istria and maybe part of Dalmatia, instead of letting it go to Croatia (and partly to Slovenia). When a country or a federation dissolves, such changes are still feasible with much less problems.

Is this a serious question?

Military related "annex" by force or future predicament of events like a succession?

Once Russia has got all the regions on 404 it needs to secure itself from NATO there will be a referendum in Belarus to join the Russian Federation.
Currently, there are to many uncertain aspects in peoples heads. To much foreign involvement of steering up youth against Lukashenko.
Right now we see a very soft phase of informational warfare from the Russian side to change some minds in favor for Russia. It is slow and some blow backs due to goals and trade-in of territory for our boys lifes.

Once it is secured it's goals I think by 2030-2035 we will see th eastern borders little bit closer to what they were before 1991.

The Russia now component does not include Crimea and the new Russian states and nor does it include Kaliningrad...

Kiev is a Russian city. The above is revisionist BS.

The Russia now component does not include Crimea and the new Russian states and nor does it include Kaliningrad...

Nor Sakhalin island or the Kuril islands

Are these the new borders being prepared for Russia by the globalist cabal, I wonder?

This is amusing... I like the new Russia that doesn't take BS anymore...

A 3rd capital, in Siberia, is needed- his arguments: https://www.globalaffairs.ru/articles/sibirizacziya-vtoroj-povorot/

Most likely it would be Novosibirsk or Krasnoyarsk or a new purpose built city nearby/between them, if/when a decision is made in Moscow.

Most likely the US will have a 2nd capital in Dallas

If and when Trump makes the decision

Or in the Salt Lake City, UT, if 11 Western States form their own union & secede.
But it has nothing to do with Siberia's role in the new Russia.
