a fascist state fought a war against a competing fascist state. simply being on the side opposing Nazi Germany doesn’t magically make your state a perfect divine utopia

Nobody talked about divine utopias, Engels settled this topic 150 years ago in his “Socialism: scientific and Utopian”. The USSR was scientific socialism, not utopian.
Calling the USSR fascist just proves how little educated you are about its realities. Free education to the highest level, free universal healthcare, guaranteed employment with high working rights and the highest rates of unionization at the time in the world, women’s rights, guaranteed housing for everyone at 3% of the monthly income on average, quality and affordable public transit, heavily subsidized utilities and foodstuffs, lowest rates of economic inequality in the history of the region, respect for different ethnicities and their cultures and languages, strong investments in infrastructure and industrial development… All of this is very accessible information, you could read Albert Szymanski’s “human rights in the Soviet Union” and check the sources there if you don’t believe me.
