    Close call, but no. Mussolini-style Russia. If you ever read Umberto Eco's essay "Eternal Fascism" (I doubt it) you'd rather came to this conclusion. Current Russian official ideology is very eclectic but it also misses several important traits to be considered Fascism.
    Jonah Goldberg in his "Liberal Fascism" wrote that Mussolini had very simple political program - seize power and stay in power as long as possible. From this point of view you may call current Russian political elite facsists - but all the nuts you've mentioned in above list (which itself begs a question "What a heck it is? What Communists have in common with Orthodox?) are just powerless political clowns.

    Now back to Ukraine: from time to time I explore the site of Svoboda party - an endless source of nazi-like sentiments and self-convicting documents, couple of it I cited before.
    Enjoy recently founded pearl from the one of the Svoboda leaders:
    http://www.svoboda.org.ua/dopysy/dopysy/047360/

    Новітніх українських націоналістів з їхніми славними попередниками єднають не стільки конкретизовані організаційні форми і методи боротьби, скільки мета – могутня незалежна Українська держава. Саме через призму цієї мети (а не методів дії) допустимо вибудовувати історичні аналогії й теоретично моделювати поведінку Степана Бандери при вирішенні нинішніх суспільно-політичних проблем. Безсумнівно одне – вона базувалася б на поширеному серед націоналістів того покоління й перефразованому до сучасних державницьких обставин правилі: "Добре все те, що посилює твою Державу, шкідливе все те, що шкодить їй". Головне в дотриманні цього правила – витримати у своїх діях ту тонку грань, яка розділяє Добро і Шкоду, що їх отримає від твоїх дій твоя Держава.
    New Ukrainean nationalists have the same goal as their glorious predecessors had - powerful and independent state. ... No doubt they all follow the one rule - "Everything which empowers your State is good, everything which weakens it is bad"...

    Old pals Benito and Gustavo may rest in peace - their cause in the good hands.
