After World War II, Britain and France gave up their colonies. Why didn't Russia give up any land?

Because after the end of World War II, the people of various colonies awakened and had their own sense of national belonging. They united together to resist the colonial rule over them, so old colonial countries like Britain and France had to give up colonization and allow them to become independent. The reasons why Russia was able to continue colonization are as follows:

First, the Soviet Union at that time had more powerful military strength than Britain and France. After the end of World War II, the entire world was in a situation of two powerful powers. One of these two superpowers was the United States, and the other was the Soviet Union. Any country had the ability to bulldoze Europe. With its strong strength, the Soviet Union could not only maintain its own territory, but also compete with other European countries for colonial resources overseas.

After World War II, Britain and France gave up their colonies, but the situation in Russia and Britain and France was different. The areas occupied by Russia were managed as territories, not as colonies.

Then Russia’s colonial methods are very different from other European countries. Russia’s expansion ideas were greatly affected by the original empire’s expansion ideas. Once they conquered a place, it became Russian territory. Part of it is under Russian administration. They will even migrate their own people to the local area, directly changing the local lifestyle and ethnic structure.
