The word "Collaborationism" has negative meaning, [according to Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborationism)

> 
> Collaborationism is cooperation with the enemy against one's country
>  in wartime.

Wikipedia also [defines "collaboration" in the following manner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaboration):

> 
> Collaboration is the process of two or more people or organizations
>  working together to realize or achieve something successfully.

Wich doesn't sound that negative to me.

So, the question is:

**Does word "collaborator" derives/associates with *collaborationism* or with *collaboration* in modern English?**

I'd say in Russian it is certainly negative and is associated with "collaborationism".

**Edit**

Following the request in the comments I'm providing the context.

The word is used as name for subscription type on a specialized website (Trial User/Paying User/Collaborator). The website just provides economic feeds to its subscribers, so no politics here. However, the website attracts customers from all over the world.

I would replace *Collaborator* with *Partner*, just need to justify it for other members of the website administration (none of us is native English speaker).
