I don't think you know what imperialism means. Russia can and is bad without being imperialist. They may have imperial ambitions but that's irrelevant to the now where they do not have the capacity to be imperialist. I wish people would stop trying to dilute the meaning of imperialism to just mean country doing war or big country doing thing I don't like.
Imperialism is when a country fights another country and authoritarianism is when any government, especially a non-white one, does anything I don't like.
