I don't get this idea. The US was instigating this for decades? I mean what did Russian think was going to happen? A massive US collation invasion of Russia? That would NEVER happen. If anything, those buffer countries were/are seeking protection from an OBVIOUS threat in the Russians. Russia has proven and continues to prove that they are bullies at the least or imperialistic in the worst way at the most.
