A fascist Russia is possible but you need a pre-1900 POD that leads to a Russian state with a powerful modern army and enough quasi-democracy to enable paramilitaries to show up. A US victory in the Vietnam War is much easier to do than a White victory in the Russian Civil War, so while the Whites were fascists and self-avowed ones at that they aren't ever going to win the war, so....
I do have a Fascist Russia in Up With the Star but the PODs that create it in the alternate Russian history start in 1877 and include a fully modern Russian military machine whose logistics are rather stronger than IOTL, a push in this stronger army for a military dictatorship, and a Dolchstosslegende meaning veterans of the war who get discharged are a ready constituency for this Fascist Movement, which I call Narodnaya Volnya. Of course the movement winds up more like a much more successful version of Mussolini's fascism, with the dictator Lavr Kornilov far more Stalin-like than Hitler like.
But again the PODs go back to the reign of Alexander II, not in a post-1900 setting.
