At the time that Nicholas was Czar (I assume you mean Nicholas II), Finland was part of the Russian Empire, as was Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and most of Poland. What was not included was Kaliningrad (which is part of Russia today) and Moldavia (which was part of the Soviet Union for a while). The Asian border was pretty much the same as the Soviet Union was.
