Morphology

rise + of + Ruscism

The construction 'rise of X' is fully transparent (increase in influence), but the head noun 'Ruscism' is a non-standard, potentially political coinage not listed in dictionaries. A B1 learner who knows 'rise' and the suffix '-ism' might infer it's an ideology related to Russia, but the specific political sense and connotations are not reliably derivable without prior exposure or background knowledge.

Etymology

Rise of Ruscism may come from joining Russia and fascism to make a new word. Think of it as a label for a growing style of strong, national politics, so the phrase means 'the increasing influence of that kind of politics'.
