No, he was totalitarian. Example of authorutarian is Putin. I would reccomend you to watch Shulman's lectures about totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, but you will not understand it unless you know russian. Or unless there is lecture in english.

TLDR: "I will kill you for the Idea" is totalitarism, libertarianism is autocracy.

Totalitarianism is a case of authoritarianism.

On that note, “I will kill you for the idea” is fanaticism.

No. Authoritarism implies depoliticization of society and promises like "we won't touch you, you won't touch us", while totalitarism implies very politicized society. Both are dictatorships, but they work differently.

Not saying that one dictator is better than the other.

This is not the first time a Russian fails to comprehend Russian language.

The claim you’re making is a description of “informational autocracy”, which Shulman claims modern Russia were.

No idea what she claims now, when Russia has clearly moved past using just information to control its population since February 2022.
