Imperialism would be Russia installing their own puppet regime, then plundering the resources of these nations. What's actually happening there is that Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso are nationalizing resources. https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/06/23/niger-to-nationalize-uranium-to-wrest-control-over-its-resource-from-france/
Don't they plunder resources though? https://apnews.com/article/central-african-republic-russia-wagner-d955ae10660d8dc5efdb258dd067be13
Yes some break free from the West but Russia is backing full on "bad guys" which, just like what the West does, provide Russia with their resources. Hell they're backing both sides in Sudan, of which the RSF is objectively awful and mostly on the side of the West.
I guess the "positive" is that because Russia provides an alternative for opposition, it becomes far more costly for the Western hegemony to maintain the colonies.
Please point out the resource plundering that you keep talking about. Show me Russian corps taking over resources in these countries, or incidents of Russia forcing them to sell resources below market value the way the west has been doing. I'll wait.
