Title says most of it - Imperial Russia was able to expand to control a domain in size nearly unrivaled in human history. Much of that territory was devoid of obvious easy lines of communication or supply in a pre-modern sense - there were few convenient west-east rivers, and revolutionary technologies like the steamship and railroad did not exist. But yet, Russia was able to not only control a vast empire conquered from both hostile natives and powerful local states, and also expand that empire a huge distance, to the point of crossing the Pacific to Alaska
How was Russia able to accomplish this feat? How were they able to maintain communications, supplies, garrisons, and armies at such a vast distance overland from European Russia, through some of the world's more extreme and less hospitable terrain?
