Russian core (and historical area, for that matter) lacks commerce overall, it's easier to push for Specialist economy which is generally better in DoC anyway (in Medieval, Vassalage + Manoralism = profit, in lategame, Egalitarism + State Property + State Party trumps almost everything, especially as Russia which really wants State Party). Never was a fan of Cottage economy even in vanilla, and in DoC i feel it to be justified only for some civs like Mali.Why farms? Just trying to max core pop?

No floodplains, not much commerce-high resources (save for Fur and i think a few in Northern Kazakhstan), low amount of possible good coastal cities, lots of rivers for Watermill spam (+ Meritocracy/State Property, both lean heavily to specialist eco). Of course you can try to build cottage eco, but i feel that both on short and long runs specialist eco will bring you much more benefits, especially given Orthodox have St Sophia. Also you really want to collect some Great Statesmen for your own Warsaw Pact.Lacks commerce? Maybe I'm not playing optimally but I cottaged the majority of grasslands in my recent playthrough with 1-3 farms per city, they grew at a steady pace until getting supercharged by individualism in the 1700s. Russia has tons of grasslands to make use of cottages and have very wealthy cities like Leningrad. Plus with elective you get a ton of commerce from all the pastures available on core and historical lands which serves you well until the industrial era.
