Russia *IS* "doing an imperialism", though.

It's a common misconception that imperialism means "military action against another country" when in reality, it's more like a sea slug projecting it's stomach outward to feed on another society's resources and labor. We don't consider the actions of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, for example, to be imperialism: we recognize that campaign as an anti-imperial action aimed at dislodging a US-installed puppet government which was put there for the purpose of maintaining a western neocolony.
