It would be an authoritarian plutocracy. Power is held in the hands of a small group of super rich. Fascism isn't a form of government either, it was the name of Mussolini's party which has since been applied to any authoritarian or nationalist movement.

All socialist governments are plutocracies. Witness Venezuala where Chavez divvied up the economy and gave all the pieces to his closest friends. Those in power always enrich themselves just as Putin and his cronies have.

Even if true, which I don't believe, your own reply points out the problem. Russia isn't socialist country, and pre-socialist Venezuela had a similar rate of corruption. Not all plutocracies are socialist.
