As far as Im concerned, after you annex the south (Golden Horde, Astrakahn, Ryazan, Sibir and Crimea) In the IGC. The Revolts make it impossible to actually hold them..Even tho the provinces make Russia wealthy.
Seems like they rebel every other year or when go to war with somebody  ...HUGE hassle, no matter ho wmuch times you supress the revolt......
Another Question, Why the hell dont the colonys revolt   |
First of all, you shouldn't have any revolts in GH, Astrakahn, Ryazan, or Kazan. Revolts are caused by many things, Tax Collectors (when you promote Balliffs), Religous tolerances, and nationalism to name a few. Now, you shouldn't have the tax collectors if you just conquered this land, or at least not too many. Since the above mentioned countries have all orthodox provinces, you shouldn't have problems with religion either. Nationalism shouldn't be a problem either. If you look at the country view (the middle map view) you should see your shield on a bunch of provinces. Any pronvinces that has your shield on it you have a claim to, and therefore if you conquer it you won't have any nationalism problems. If you conquer a province without one of you shields on it, the revolt risk is automaticaly at least 3% for a few years. It gradually goes down to 2, then 1, and then 0. There's nothing you can do about it until it goes away.
Another major factor in revolt risk is stability. If your stability is less than 0 your in big trouble. Always keep it at 3 or as close as possible. Another hint, in the province info window, if you hold your cursor over the revolt risk a breakdown of the different factors affecting it will pop up.

Annex Sibir? Yes. All of there provinces except the capitol are under 5,000 anyways, so you can convert with colonists. Sibir is your gateway to Siberia. No matter if you play a warmongering Russia or a peacefull one, you need to colonize Siberia to be successful.

After taking Kazan, Golden Horde, and Astrakhan in the first 3-4 years, you might wait until later to take Sibir. I usually wait until I have artillery, then declare war on Teutonic Order. This will usually result in Sweden, Poland, Crimea, Sibir, and sometimes Persia declaring war on Russia. I can then take three provinces from each of these countries without affecting my badboy rating (except against Teutonic Order). Later, I do it again. In the first 20 years I will have conquered about 40 provinces and the badboy number is in the low twenties.

"Colonies can rebel. It is extremely annoying when the most isolated places revolt. Like Hawaii."
-You think that's annoying, build a lv. 6 fortress on Corsica, and watch it revolt... tell me that's not annoying.
Also, ever try to annex the Netherlands just after they finish their war with Spain? You're better off letting a couple provinces be in rebel hands until the Dutch nationalism (+42) dies down. I seriously killed more than their population in rebels before I figured that one out.
"Annex Sibir? Yes. All of there provinces except the capitol are under 5,000 anyways, so you can convert with colonists. Sibir is your gateway to Siberia. No matter if you play a warmongering Russia or a peacefull one, you need to colonize Siberia to be successful."
-Maybe, but I've taken over Sibir as France before, thanks to the vacant Caspian Sea side provinces, just kept buuilding those up and built armies there then annexed Sibir in a bloody war. Eventually I hit Russia from both sides, but since it was a major power I never managed to keep Moscow. I had it surrounded though.
"Later, I do it again. In the first 20 years I will have conquered about 40 provinces and the badboy number is in the low twenties."
-Are you suggesting this is a good thing? The only way to take over the world is if you get people to wreck their stability declaring war on you. I once had it so high, that my allies were the only people I could trust, of course by that point I owned enough of the world to take the rest on.

Yes annex sibir! Russia is the easiest country to play, your infantry costs next to nothing, your economy is strong, especially after you take the Khanates. Revolts shouldn't be a real problem beofre the time of toubles (which can be quite nasty, espeically if most of Europe is Russian  )
Unifying Germany isn't really that hard ethie, don't take on Saxony right away (they have a better army than you) , wait until Poland gets into a nasty war and then stab them in the back taking Danzig and Western Prussia, then You can Vasilise Prussia which will give you two more provinces when you annex them (although you might want to just keep them as vassals), then look north (I assume you are playing the IGC), Pormmenia and the Hansa are good targets. Having gobbled up this little lot you should be well placed to take over the rest in whatever order you like.
Its also a good idea to ally with Hessen, The Palainat and Hannover early on (they all like you so it shouldn't be hard) they are good for the inevitable wars with Poland and will happily send troops to die for you
