Ukraine’s interim Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has authorized the detention and questioning of the leaders of radical Right Sector party after receiving threats of retaliation for the killing of one of its notorious activists, a ministry’s source said Tuesday.

The source said on condition of anonymity that Avakov’s order includes a police sweep of Kiev's Independence Square, known as Maidan, which is still occupied by scores of ultranationalists.

“Investigators from the ministry are already working at some of the tents on Maidan,” the source said, adding that a crackdown on Maidan could start later tonight.

Ukrainian special forces have gunned down ultranationalist Olexander Muzychko, member of Right Sector an active participant in earlier opposition riots in Kiev, who assaulted staff at a state prosecutor's office in Rovno last month.

Muzychko, also known as Sashko Bilyi, has also been sought by Russia on suspicion of torturing and murdering at least 20 Russian servicemen in Chechnya in the early 2000s.

Nazis and communists are both opposed to freedom. I would caution against falling for recent attempts to breathe life into this false dichotomy.

In other words, it’s not nazism against communism.

It’s the nazi-communist contingency against freedom.

Yup. I wasn’t that old and don’t think old Vlad was a lot older than me. But what do I know? The kid at the bottom is now Generalissimo of the Crimea because he opposed Reagan, Thatcher, etc?
