Was the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance just a Soviet version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?
Yes. Look at the evolution of the polish border between 1939 and 1945 for example. USSR moved the entire country to grow its territory. Look the Prague Springue. Those are two examples of russian imperialism

Half Ukrainian half Polish territories got fights for control by the two new nation states at their creation. Is it supposed to refute USSR imperialism?
Poland lost territories to Russia during this war
But at least, we agree that the invasion of Prague in 1968 was an imperialist move
Crushing color revolution attempts is “an imperialist move”? Also it was Poland that started the 1920 war in hopes of rebuilding its former empire and ended up stealing land that was not majority Polish by population.
The USSR was not imperialist at any point in its history. The worst you can accuse them of is revisionism (starting with Khrushchev) and perhaps “great nation chauvinism”.
