Lenin also called WWI the imperialist war. If anything, the Russian empire was on the side of imperialism. Modern Russia has aligned itself with the anti-imperialist block. This is an opportunistic alignment due to the western powers' hostility toward Russia, but for now, Russia's actions are a counter to empire.
Its a good answer, no idea why someone downvoted you. I think we agree in everything but semantics comrade. Happy new year!
Thank you comrade and happy new year to you too! Fwiw, I also don't consider Putin or the Russian ruling class to be anti-imperialists. You're probably correct that we're debating semantics.
