Cult of tradition, the state enforces "traditional" behaviour, for example suppression of LGBT people, deeply ingrained anti feminist sentiment, and so on
The suppression of any political opponents by the state, disagreement with Putin is treason.
Fear of difference, again symbolised by the persecution of LGBT people and various ethnic discrimination the Russian state perpetrates, can also be seen in some of the state sanctioned rhetoric against Ukrainians.
Appeal to frustration, might be a bit of a stretch but the Putin regime is definitely posturing as slighted or unfairly treated by the world.
Obsession with a plot, rhetoric about Russia being persecuted and nefarious plots being done against Russia are fairly common in state rhetoric afaik
I don't feel like going over the rest of the list, I listed a few of the points I feel like describe russia well according to Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism.
If you disagree with me I don't care very much.
I actually agree with all of it, and it makes me feel so bad about it all.
Yeah it's not great in Russia
