Yes. Russia has historically used its sheer vastness as its defence. - An invading force simply couldn't maintain supply lines over such distances.This is actually one of the problems on the Pontic Steppe and why Russia is so damn paranoid. There's very, very little in way of defensible terrain. European Russia has almost no natural borders and most of it is flat and open, some marsh here and there, but the Steppe? The rivers are your best bet, I guess.
