Orthodox Christian fascism?

What if Orthodox Christian fascism become prominent in the 20s and 30s? What would Orthodox Christian fascism look like? What effects would it have in majority Orthodox Christian countries? How would other countries be effected as a result?

The mextasas regime in the 30's. which ironically stood up to Duce and der Fuhrer. Perhaps greater pressure on Bulgaria. Greater support for non Catholics in Hungary.
 
The Lebanon has the Maronite Kataeb party, also known as the Lebanese Phalanges Party. Yes, they were inspired by Falangism, and they were founded in 1936 - because the founder thought Lebanon needed discipline and order.

As already mentioned there were the Iron Guard. Additionally there were also the puppet regimes of The Hellenic State and The Government of National Salvation.

In Bulgaria there was a group called the "National Social Movement" but it was almost immediately kicked to the curb by the Tsar.
 
Fascism in an Orthodox country or Orthodox fascism? Fascism in a Catholic country or Catholic fascism?

This raises an interesting question; if Clerico-Fascism (or at least Fascism in alliance with the Catholic Church) arises as it did IRL, would they align with or be rivals to Orthodox Fascism?
 
If any could answer, I’d like to know - how would Oriental Orthodox Christian fascism look like? Countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, Armenia and others contain sizable numbers of Oriental Orthodox Christians. How would this differ from any Eastern Orthodox fascist regimes in Europe?

I'm not sure if they'd have much contact with one another, with the Estado Novo being the only clerico-fascist regime IOTL.

At a guess, opposition.
