Yes, but they would be right because US is global superpower, while Russia loses grip on everything, even Caucasus and Central Asia.
When it goes to economy Russians classified their data, claiming they're secretly 4th economy in the world (which is ridiculous), leaving foreign trade as only independent metric of their economy (because they can't classified something that goes both ways). So, size of Russian exports is what Poland exports and Russia imports half of what Poland does - yet, not most delusional Pole would call our country "superpower".
When it goes to hard power, Russia can't dominate poorest European country, despite 3.5 years of trying. They keep reminding everyone that they have nukes, but so does North Korea - trully globa supapowa.
