I think it was the Mongols who showed Russia how “rule by punitive expeditions” works. No need for occupation, send us the annual tax, else we come in, trash your place, maybe install a sockpuppet, and go away.
Now that Russia can also intimidate via remote control of the pipelines, it’s even easier.
