Death to NATO

Russia isn't Socialist but they aren't "authoritarian" because that word is literally meaningless. All governments are authoritarian. All governments by definition enforce law (the rules of society) and curtail the rights of the individual. (You'd probably be better off just removing the word from your lexicon)

Russia supports anti-imperialism in Africa and in some cases is directly supporting socialists like in Burkina Faso. Russia does have reactionary tendencies but systemic racism is not nearly as pronounced as in euro-american nations and it is mostly imported from the west. Anti-racism is one of the defining features that separates socialism from nazism.

Russia is far more likely to become socialist than any other developed countries. The war has shown them the advantages of a planned economy, state ownership of industry, and the detrimental cost of a privately owned national bank and their strong ties to China also act as a socialist influence. A loss in Ukraine would not help Russia back to socialism it would just get them broken up and turned into neo-colonies. (who would all be manipulated to fight amongst themselves by the CIA or redirected against China)

Russia also gives me the impression of being colonialist but I’m not sure if that’s accurate

no it isn't accurate. Name one Russian colony. At the very worst you can call Russia expansionist because the people in areas they annex are granted full citizenship and all the privileges and rights that entails. Since the start of the SMO Russia has been paying pensions of elderly people in Donbas, people who never contributed to their economy. That is not the action of a colonialist.
