No. I can’t think of any other time Russia has gone after neighbors. Maybe you missed the change from the Soviet union to Russia.

In January 1919, Russia attacked and occupied the Polish city of Wilno, now known as Vilnius, starting the Russo-Polish war. The ramifications of the conclusion of that war, the Treaty of Riga, are again manifesting themselves in Ukraine. FYI, that war is sometimes reffered to as the Polish-Bolshevik War, or the Polish-Soviet war. The latter is technically incorrect as the Soviet Union was not created until 28 December 1922 by the Treaty on the Creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics , well after the 1921 Treaty of Riga.

Wow. We have attacked many many more countries far more recently than over a century ago. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Funny.

The Soviet union saved us all from Nazis once and Russia is doing the world another huge favor today.
