Russia would love to be Imperialist, but they aren’t, bcs they aren’t economically developed enough.
The word Imperialism was coined in the 1870’s and applied to countries that were several orders of magnitude less developed than Russia today. Lenin defined Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism which definitely applies to Russia today. Russia is as capitalist and developed as the UK is today.
