Ukraina valde Ryssland före EU - stora protester som följd, länkar i inlägg2

But Ivan Katchanovski, a political scientist at the University of Ottawa who has studied the far right in Ukraine, disagreed that Svoboda is so extreme. “Svoboda is currently best described as a radical nationalist party and not as fascist or neo-Nazi,” he said. “It is now not overtly anti-Semitic.”

Andrew Srulevitch, director of European affairs for the Anti-Defamation League, said: “Svoboda has been disciplined in its messaging regarding Jews since the Maidan demonstrations started in November, but they have a history of anti-Semitic statements to overcome, and a clear political program of ethnic nationalism that makes Jews nervous.”

Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of Svoboda, described the dispute over his party as an “information war.” He said in an interview: “Unfortunately, the information concerning Svoboda’s radicalism is not true. It comes from European and Russian mass media. They just wanted to create an image of horror, of extremists, anti-Semites and xenophobes, and started to write about our party some stupid things.”

Ihor Tenyukh (55) -- Rear admiral and former commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Tenyukh provoked Russian animosity in 2008 when he ordered vessels to block the entrance of the Russian Navy to the bay of Sevastopol during the Russia-Georgia War. Two years later, he was dismissed from his position by Yanukovych. Tenyukh played an active role during the Euromaidan protests, calling on members of the armed forces to defy "illegal" orders from the authorities. Lviv native and member of the nationalist Svoboda party.

First Deputy Prime Minister

Vitaliy Yarema (50) -- The former chief of the Kyiv police force, Yarema became a powerful critic of Interior Ministry forces during Euromaidan, and has spearheaded independent investigations into a number of attacks on protesters, including that on journalist Tetyana Chornovol (see below). Yarema, who joined the Verkhovna Rada as a Fatherland lawmaker in 2012, will now oversee the defense, interior, and foreign ministries, as well as the National Security and Defense Council. (The interim president, not parliament, must approve the defense and foreign posts.) Yatsenyuk has referred to Yarema as the No. 2 official in the new government.

Kiev started the Revolution, but there everything ended with U.S. snipers and dirty russophobia and demands to accept Ukraine into NATO. But all could have been different. Oligarchs, tycoons and corrupted bureaucrats have everyone fed up. If Kiev and Maidan would of rose against them, without NATO, without dirty pig Nuland, without CIA manipulators and disgusting Russophobia, it would not yet have been certain on which side we would be today.

Kievans have failed the Revolution. And in Crimea and South East, by contrast, people have taken up it’s initiative. The scream “Russia” now in Ukraine, means the same as “death to the oligarchs”, “freedom”, “justice”. Not pro-Russian proteges should head now every region of Ukraine, but the most honest and decent heroic persons having the direct support of the people. This is direct democracy, without farce, mediation, manipulation. People’s governors proposed spontaneously in some towns of East Ukraine is brilliant idea.

Revolutionary spirit of the Maidan actually wins in the East of Ukraine. Not even in the Crimea, in the East! Gubarev against Taruta. Rogov against bastard Kolomoyskiy. This is the Revolution – national, social, all and immediately!In Kiev, the Revolution failed, in Novorossiya it is starting. In Kiev that was pro-USA, in the South and the East of Ukraine – against USA. That explains coverage of the facts in the West.
