Scythia had many "border expansion periods," so "what is Scythia" depends on when you are talking about. There were many times when Scythia contained almost the entirety of Asia and Europe, and even into Egypt. There were also times that, rather than expand (or maintain) their borders, they just demanded Tribute from previously dominated settlements (thus a distinction of culture, through the separation of time, but still a "tributary"). Indeed, that seems to be how their whole government worked, with all the internal tribes paying Tribute to whatever Royal Scythian (a member of the Aristocracy) had shown enough strength to demand it and get away with it.

Among those that expanded the borders were Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, though there were quite a few other "Khan of Khans" that won that title through political maneuvering and show of strength. Those are just a couple more recent ones that most people have heard of.

What I call "Scythia proper" (areas that were pretty much always considered "internal" to Scythia) is pretty much exactly the region that was the former USSR.

That is not coincidence. The Rus Khanate (Moscovians) were a Scythian Tribe, thus the takeover of that region by the USSR was exactly the same as other Scythian takeovers (a Khan of Khans winning an "election year"). It was the USSR that wiped Tartaria (and thus Scythia) from history. See Russia and her Colonies by Walter Kolartz, 1952, pages 31-41 (though specifically page 39).

The USSR also happens to have been created by the same people that were the Khazarians.
