You have completely veered off the main question (as trolls do of course) which was, is Russia imperialist, including as Lenin defined it.
A key feature of modern imperialism is the export of capital by "advanced" capitalist countries due to saturation, monopoly and cartels etc in the domestic markets.
Export of capital which is then used to exploit workers in the places to which which it is exported and alongside that generates inter imperialist rivalry and attempts to carve up and re-carve up the world.
I suggested that Russian capitalists do not in the main export capital and therefore Russia as a capitalist country cannot be described as "imperialist".
I said absolutely nothing about Russian capitalist not being capitalists or them not exploiting existing labour. Although, I would say, a lot of Russian oligarch wealth has come from the dirt cheap buying up of privatised state assets, using money acquired through the black markets and gangsterism in the latter days of the Soviet Union.
They may well be adding to their wealth through investment in domestic productive industry (although the absence of such is a cause of Russia's current economic weakness) and therefore traditional capitalist exploitation.
Whether their activities and wealth acquisition as gangsters and black marketeers counts as "capitalist exploitation" I am not quite sure. A very crude form of exploitation certainly.
Focus on the main/original point Steven. Is Russia imperialist? Oh, "imperialist" doesn't appear in the former SPGB members' lexicon does it? No, Russia is exactly the same at the US, UK, Germany, EU etc. According to both versions of the SPGB and ex members like Steven (what was the problem Steven, were you even too annoying for them?!) 
And, no, I don't suggest Russian capitalism is in anyway preferable or "progressive" to capitalism in the UK, USA, Germany, EU etc, which we would add the descriptor "imperialism". So, don't try that one.
