"Treatment of minority cultures (Finland as a counter example, which I give)"
If you use the comparison with Finland as indication of Russia being 'fascist', then whole lot of countries including Ukraine are 'fascist' too. Which devoids the word 'fascist' of its meaning.
"Popular media (movies -i.e. Brat 2-)"
And what is fascist about it? Main hero is negative about fascism. [0]
"the systemic antisemitism during the soviet times"
Which is not the case in today's Russia.
As for the past, Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which are treated as heroes in modern Ukraine, was quite busy butchering Jews [1] and Poles [2].
"you can think about how your own society has failed to uphold humanist values"
I don't think that vast majority of Russians believed that Putin was going to start the war.
