Imperialism is expansion in to previously unoccupied lands.

By that definition the only imperialism in the last centuries was in Antarctica.

Scramble for Africa. Roman expansion. Colonization of the Americas.

Invading other societies with the purpose of acquiring their resources and people sound imperialists to me, same with Russia.

Colonialism is a form of imperialism but imperialism isn’t always colonization. Read the comment I just made, or study the history of the USSR up to now to understand motivations for the actions.
