It's fairly easy by comparing the central factions of United Russia, which doesn't even reach Salazar levels of Fascist organisation, to the actual "Black Hundreds were good actually" fascists to Putins right.
Putin started as a compromise candidate holding the collapsed remnants of the state together with duct tape, and his system while certainly nationalist is more like Peron or something similar. He just isn't powerful enough even with the GRU on side to force class collaboration.
It doesn't rise to corporatism since he can't adequately control the oligarchs and force the workers into a cohesive whole. I'm not sure he even wants to.
This is not an endorsement of Putin who I dearly hope gets the wall when the Communist Party or one of it's less cringe splinters undergoes backbone replacement surgery
