Since some on the various SWJ threads take offense at the term "fascism" or "fascist" especially those say in Russia---here is an interesting article from 2010 by the Moscow Times a relatively middle of the road media website.
If one then looks at how Russia uses the term "fascist" against the Ukraine--we inherently truly need to understand how it both "exists" and is "used" by Putin, the FSB and the GRU in furthering their new UW strategy especially how it is applied to the Ukraine and potentially the Baltics and Poland.
In it's use in propaganda it is a strong "radicalizer". In it's use on the ground it is a potent irregular military force to be reckoned with.

This article from 2012 makes several interesting comments by a Russia is in fact either close too and or already in a "fascism state of being".
So just how does Russia level the charge of fascism against the Ukraine propaganda wise but ignores itself and has no fear that the same propaganda will not be leveled against them at some point---is worth a doctoral thesis in political science.
