Note, if Russia was truly fascist then Muscovite's would also have been sent to fight in Ukraine: (not an endorsement of fascism either)

Meanwhile, pedestrian traffic around the square flowed smoothly and speedily. People went in and out of the Metro and a three-story H&M store. They did not stop and stare at the mute scenes of arrest. They did not seem to notice, and the not-noticing did not appear effortful. It seemed, rather, that the Muscovites going about their business and the young women being arrested inhabited different realities. The protesters lived in a world where Russia was waging a brutal, inexplicable war in Ukraine, where it was bombing residential neighborhoods in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. The rest of the people in the square lived in a world where this war did not exist.

In true tribalistic fasion, the Kremlin sent the "other non-ethnic Russians" to fight in Ukraine, while ethnic Russians in Moscow got to go about their daily lives as if no war was even happening. This is not fascism!
