The terrorists you are talking about were sponsored by the US and the CIA way more than Russia ever sponsored terrorists... since Stalin, that is. US CIA terrorism has been in the news for at least 3 decades. Much of it that we know of has been done in South and Central America.
As far as so-called Russian terrorism in countries of the former USSR, there are loads of people in all those countries who would rather be connected to Russia than to the West. It's a continual squabble among people of those countries.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Go to Caucasus, Baltic countries, Poland, Romania, the Chech republic...
People in those countries simply hated Russia well before this invasion. Now, most of the world sees what Rashists are really capable of.
Since WWII, Russians have been terrorizing their neighbours:
1956, 1968, 1970, 1981, 1991, 1994, 2000, 2008, 2014, 2022-now.
PS. You have no idea what type of ethnic cleansing Russian neighbours were subjected to.
Some whole nations were almost entirely Russified, while many others prevailed.
As I said, there are those in all countries who have divided opinions. So, if you listen only to what you like, you will miss the truth. Read the rest of the article.
Relations between Russia and other countries: "befriend" or colonize

On the pages of "Military Review" and on the pages of other publications, you can often see comments in such a way that if Russia uses force in one case or another, for example, to solve its economic problems and / or support its corporations, change and / or liquidate unfriendly regimes, then how will it differ from the "stronghold of world evil" - the United States or Great Britain?
The question is, do you need to be different? Maybe in this issue with the United States and Great Britain it is worth taking an example?
What negative consequences for our country will the “aggressive predator” policy bring?
Help "brotherly countries"
One of the distinguishing features of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), of which Russia is the successor, has become assistance to the so-called "fraternal countries." The Soviet Union helped a lot and generously to the countries of the Soviet bloc in all parts of the world - the countries of Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The amount of aid to the countries of the Soviet bloc was enormous - the supply of weapons and military equipment, the construction of infrastructure facilities, the supply of food and consumer goods, not to mention loans and direct financial injections. The total volume of infusions into other countries amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars, and this was when a significant part of the population of the USSR lived in conditions that could be called beggarly. All this was accompanied by classical Soviet agitation about friendship of peoples, building communism / socialism.
