The major territorial gains of the Russian Empire in the 19th century were its expansion into central and far eastern Asia, most significantly Siberia, in terms of land area. Although a Russian presence had periodically existed in these regions since the 17th century, their control of the territories was consolidated in the 19th century.

Wikipedia contains several articles on the Russian Empire detailing these events:
