It’s ultra rhetoric that reduces “imperialism” to whenever a country invades another (they don’t understand what imperialism is). Russia is definitively not apart of the imperial core, is not imposing an imperial mode of production, and is merely acting/reacting nationalistically.
A lot of the myth of Russian “imperialism” is due to Dugin, who is a complete idiot and nobody in the Russian gov’t cares about him. Russia doesn’t have the population nor military capacity to become global hegemons, its simply not going to happen.
