The Russian Tsardom cannot be compared to the Soviet Union, but otherwise Lfromnj is right. Might I add that a significant amount of emigres from France and Germany and persistent land wars there made financial capital flock to the safest and most secure for illiquid assets, London either in gold in the bank or property.

As the British Empire fell apart, Russia was - and is - the real dominator in colonialism (with China being another case).
Maybe Russia was until 1917 and China till 1945, but not the dominant one since as the US became the leader.
