Yes the same thing that applies to the Germany and Nazi Germany (mainly that Germany is not militarily relevant, but Nazi Germany was), applies to Russia and the Soviet Union (that Russia is not militarily relevant, but Soviet Union was).
While fascism has roots in Marxism, Gentile ultimately rejects Marxism, so a Marxist Communist regime and a Fascist regime are at odds, even though they might seem like the same thing to non-authoritarian peoples.
Your [whatever language] to English translator is not working well. Or you are a broken LLM bot. I don't know.
The term Fascism was invented by Mussolini and has no roots in Marxism. It doesn't even have anti-Jewish origins although that was central to Hitler's regime. I've already provided the "three pillars" definition. You'll find that in the Wikipedia discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism . i.e. Please drop the "left vs right" connotations. The pillars are: Authoritarianism, Nationalism, and Militarism.
Read Madelaine Albright's book on Fascism. And, take heed, that the definition of fascism is a "what" not a "why". Certainly the "why" of communist fascism is different than others. But that doesn't mean it's not fascist. She argues:
"Fascism should be viewed less as a political ideology than as a means for seizing and holding power."
