to what Russia is doing in Africa or Belarus where they actually install puppets.

Belarus under Lukashenko was at first opposed to Yeltsin's Russia, then tried to become neutral until USA and their Polish and Baltic puppets organised coup there which finally forced Belarus to side with Russia, but all that time Russia didn't installed anything there, it's the same government there.

And did you just suggest that the antiimperialist coups in Sahel countries are just Russia's doing? I mean it would be great if Russia was such an antiimperialist activist, but no such luck there.
