From your source.

The prospect of Putin’s Russia turning into the greatest medium-term beneficiary of the wave of the anti-Russian colour revolutions in Tbilisi and Kiev is not a fantastic option. It is the new reality.

It is possible that in long term Russia indeed will be the greatest beneficent but it has nothing to do with Putin’s primitive imperialist plans. Post-communist imperialists like Putin aren’t able to think like capitalists.

anti-Russian colour revolutions

This term is a joke, Kremlin’s propaganda. What those guys really afraid is to lose the power that they have in Russia.

Russia’s new strategy in the making is – in a distorting echo of the “guerrillas without guns” model pioneered by youth movements in countries to its west and south – based on exporting its own version of democracy and building pro-Russian constituencies in the post-Soviet societies.

„exporting its own version of democracy” means exporting pro-Kremlin dictators, nothing else.
