I can still stan neither the US, nor Russian, now Ukraine. They can all be bad to a point where I don’t want to cheer for them. I will cheer for China any day though, or the other countries you mentioned. Russia is just a bit too reactionary for me, which is only likely to change once Putin stops leading the place.
And yes, they happen to be a target of imperialism by the US, mainly because the US is incapable of letting anything go and the average hog still equates russian with communist, which is not Russia’s fault. Them having allied with the block of countries that oppose the US/West globally is a pretty obvious move, since they have no other potential allies. in that sense they are indeed anti-imperialist, but that is like saying Hitler was an Anti-Imperialist for wanting to conquer France and the UK.

Iran is objectively more reactionary than Russia and we still critically support them.

No, it’s the opposite. Nazi Germany was the bigger imperialist threat at the time. At the time we would have expressed, as most communists did, critical support to France and the UK, despite them being imperialist, in the war against the Nazis.
