Most of those were the Soviet Union, which encompassed not only Russia, but Ukraine & Belarus.
Russia today, without the Soviet satellite nations, is a shell of itself.
Modern Russia has the economic power of such “powerhouses” as: Canada (population 37 million), and Australia (population 24 million).
Considering their population (154 million), Russia is a relatively poor country. Yes, Russia is aggressive in its military adventures, but its military reach is limited due to finances.
Ok, I am no expert on the subject - I guess I was just stirring the pot a bit. But I still think Turkey would not fare well in a direct conflict with Russia.
