The name changed, the number of satellite republics changed. The religion really didn’t change that much other than the orthodox Catholic Church being able to show back up without getting executed. The state held properties got bought up by oligarchs so that’s a little different from traditional fascism where private companies are controlled by the government and vice versa. In the current case the oligarchs tremble in fear so the traditional ties between private companies and government that one finds and fascism doesn’t really work in this situation. So calling it both fascist and a theocracy isn’t in keeping with the traditional meaning of either word. It’s like calling a Tesla a horseless carriage. A lot is different from what that originally meant.
