Russia was known for using scorched earth tactics to the point where it was arguably the main reason why they could defeat their enemies such as Sweden and France.
Hell it is sometimes even memed "never invade russia in winter".

I suggest to add +1 attrition for enemies and +1 max attrition to russian ideas, to reflect this along with the fact that siberia is cold.





While a little off topic, policies or ideas regarding attrition could receive an improvement aswell.
Influence-Defensive: Guerrilla Warfare +1 global attrition for enemies +10% Garrison Growth
Religious-Defensive:
Edict of Resistance +1 attrition for enemies +30% local siege ability


global attrition for enemies - provinces which are occupied gives attrition for enemies, normal attrition for enemies gives the attrition only in non-occopied lands, this bonus would give attrition in both cases.
local siege ability - time needed to resiege your own or your subject owned provinces.


Local siege ability could be applied to monuments or national ideas -
Kremlin monument could give +10% Local siege ability on tier 3
Armenia, Georgia,
Circassia, Baluchistan, Burmese nations could have this bonus in national ideas.
