IDK, I'd say all state powers are imperialist to some degree regardless of what they've done/are currently doing because they're always going to be motivated to act in such a way. Even China, which I will defend as being the best in this hellworld isn't going to be pure of that sin.
That being said they've done amazingly at it overall. Their claim to Taiwan is justified (although whether or not it's practical is a different question) and as a whole aren't exploitative.
The conservative ruling powers of Russia however, are a bit different. They'd be hand in hand with the US in idealogy if it wasn't for them competing in other fields.
