A fascist "USSR"

Union of Slavic States also means they want to include all Slavs (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, Slovens, Croats, Albanians and Bulgarians included)... and likely Romanians, Hungarians and Balts (who, while non-Slavic, are right in the middle) as well.

Albanians also aren't Slavs. Their language is totally unrelated.
 
Not sure what the winking is for. You will also notice how I referred to things in the spot tense, how in previous posts I mentioned the different uses of words for Russian as an ethnic group and Russian as someone coming from Russia, etc.
your a happy guy I can see.. the winking was to make sure that you understand I am a bit light hearted and just here for the conversation and not trying to do hoist any flags on subjects that seem to strike chords in people .. just trying to avoid arguments
 
I could see a Russian style Fascist State existing. The important thing to note is that it would not be like Germany, if anything it would be like Italy. All the different cultures of the Russian Empire and all, you'd need a Big Man figure to unite them all around. In theory the best option for this could be a successful the Soviet faction being initially successful in the Civil War, to only lose it to another faction. That faction goes on to rebuild the country around the idea of getting revenge against Germany, Poland and any breakaway state. The problem becomes industrialization, I don't see Fascist Russia taking on Europe until the 1950s.

One aspect more like Germany will be the high likelyhood of a Jewish genocide. A fascist Russia could very easily develop it's own version of the Dolchstoßlegende. Add in the already nasty history of antisemitic violence and propaganda (lets not forget that The Protocols of Zion is Russian in origin), the gross exaggerations of the number of Jews involved in the communists revolution (especially if TTL replaces Lenin with Trotsky!), and the likely echos of Soviet atrocities.

ITTL the following is likely IMHO:
Fascist/bourgeois/Trotskyist propaganda/revisionism are replaced with Jewish propaganda/revisionism.
The Great Purge will be of those with Jewish blood, reds, etc.
The SS-TV and it's various arbeitslager, konzentrationslage, and todeslager are replaced with katorga, ITKs, Sevvostlag, and Gulags.
Names like Sulovki, Butovo, will be remembered like Dachau and Auschwitz are in OTL.
The kulaks deserve it"is easily replaced by "the Jews deserved it".
 
There's already been a movement that wanted this during the 1990s. Russia's National Bolshevik Party advocated a bizarre combination of communist economics, neonazism, and Stalinist/Soviet nostalgia. Imagine Russian ultra-nationalists who canonize Lenin as an orthodox saint, and yearn for Czar putin to restore Soviet greatness.
The meme ideology that's nation bolshevism is practically just living proof of horseshoe theory. Their symbol is basically just the nazi flag, but with the hammer and sickle instead of the swastika. If they took power, the energy from hitler and stalin rolling in their graves would be enough to power the Russian federation.

I can’t decide if this ideology applied to reality would be hilariously awful or awfully hilarious. If black comedy is your thing.
