      After Napoleon, Russia was occupying Paris for a while. Ergo, Paris is old Russian territory.

      Also, Novgorod was founded by vikings, therefore everything vikings ever held is old Russian territory.

      In the end times of Byzantine (Eastern Rome), Muscovy bought the right to call itself a successor of Rome. Therefore, Spain and Morocco are old Russian territories. And Israel as well.
