The Soviet Union had no colonies. This was always projection on the part of colonial and neocolonial countries for the USSR’s unwavering support for national liberation struggles, which earned them incredible amounts of sanctions.
Do you think the current colonies of the Russia somehow appeared out of thin air? All of the Russia’s current territory has been Soviet territory in the past. All of the Russia’s colonies were of course also Soviet colonies.
What are you referencing when you say current Russian colonies? Pretty much all Russian colonization happened in the 16th century in Siberia and central asia under imperial Russia. The only colonization other than that was in Alaska and in parts of northern California in the 18th century, while still under the imperial regime.
Modern Russia had no colonies to inherit, it has no colonies. The Soviet Union liberated the Tsar’s colonies and thus modern Russia had none to inherit.
I think even if someone were to be generous and agreed with your view of current events, it would be considered annexation rather than colonization. It’s an important delineation as colonization requires a conquest in the aims of material extraction without benefit to the native populace.
Colonialism is more than just taking over territory, it involves setting up colonial governments and running the economy based on strategic gain or resource extraction for the parent country.

They are sure trying to re colonize all the old soviet countries though. Give them credit for that at least!
Not really, there’s a major schism due to western plundering of the former Soviet countries and installation of compradors.
Or, in reality, russia is trying to re colonialize these countries. Frame it how you will
