The U.S. and Europe have been emphatic in their support of the new Ukrainian government – but a significant number of Washington's new bedfellows are members of what some experts class as extreme right-wing parties.
When Sen. John McCain traveled to Kiev in December, he told the crowd of 200,000 on Independence Square: "The free world is with you, America is with you, I am with you."
But among those stood next to the veteran Republican was Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the Svoboda Party. Some policy analysts have called Svoboda ultra-nationalist and even neo-Nazi.
Svoboda, which means "Freedom," was given almost a quarter of the Cabinet positions in the interim government formed after the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych in February.
The party's policies center around protecting the rights of what it calls “ethnic Ukrainians,” the preservation of the Ukrainian language and culture, and strict controls on immigration.
Although much of the more extreme content has now been removed from Svoboda’s leaflets, the European Parliament passed a resolution on Ukraine in 2012 that asked Kiev not to associate with the party on account of its “racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic views.”
One of the party's lawmakers was appointed to run the powerful defense ministry before being forced out. However, Svoboda still holds one of the vice prime minister posts as well as the ministries of agriculture and the environment.
Is Oleh Neo-Nazi?
Didn't John Kerry say that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt were largely secular, and then two years later say that their ouster in Egypt was the restoration of Democracy in Egypt?
Hasn't a leader of the org. Right Sektor been shot by new gov't police lately?
Hmmm... Is this a case of not needing them anymore?
Just wondering...
What say you?
Since when is a “Socialist-Nationalist” party “far-right?”
Yeah, that’s Svoboda’s original name.
I agree with you. Socialist Nationalists aren’t far right, but it is the template that we are often stuck with and have to work with.
Larger point is, either way, what is McCain doing?
We MUST support Obama, Progressive Socialist DemoRats, MSM Journolists and the Neo-Con Homofascistas against the evil Putin.
They can't be all wrong.
Same thing he’s always doing: making love to tyrants.
With 1/4 of the interim cabinet position being given to Svoboda, Kiev apparently ignored the 2012 European Parliament resolution - BIG TIME.
Exactly right!
Hitler himself once bragged of being a socialist. To label the Nazis as "extreme right," therefore, is downright silly. And highly inaccurate.
"Practically, we are aimed at creating political blocks (not merely "economical"), in European context - new European Union (federation) with an autonomous political centre responsible for taking political desicions. Such a union should be based on open rejecting "liberal democratic" standards;...... the needed diversity will exist on the regional level. ... Liberals and leftists have no right to be represented in public sphere at all: they are at best selfish pragmatists, daydreamers, harmful chatter-boxes, etc. ... we have to face, actually, we already face the reality of the world state. The decline of national states, though, should be perceived as a positive process, because the latter are rather enemies than friends of an ethnos in an organic sense. ... what us really inspires is a new great project aimed at worldwide revolution "from the Right," https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=636951062981776&set=a.173886785954875.43159.100000006657027&type=1&permPage=1
Do those idiots have any clue what the Nazis did to Ukraine in WWII?

The lecture is quite long, so it will be hard to make English subtitles that fast..... the main thing is that nobody can see the faces. Approximately the same will be visible in the video. March 30 at 5:56am · 1
Olena Semenyaka Besides, the photos of the same room of their headquarters are uploaded on C14's page in VK, the only difference is that there are no torches and the flag) But it's something that is worth seeing! March 30 at 5:58am · 1

Olena Semenyaka Yes, they've managed to create this atmosphere, so that I've even felt the presence of the spirits of the fallen... That's why I had to show it people like you! March 30 at 6:06am · 3
Bianca Isabela Thank you for this chance , dear Lena! I am really glad to see these "rituals" coming into shape more and more as they really should be , animated by high states of mind and spirit of young fighters with the proper symbolistic ambiance around and candles reminding torches.Seeing these pictures made me think someone like Evola would smile in approval March 30 at 6:18am · 1
Olena Semenyaka Completely share your feelings about the symbolic value of this moment and event! March 30, 2014

"The City Council has been released by the revolutionaries after the defeat of the former regime, but the banners remained, and it's a high time to raise them again! March 9 at 5:06pm
Neo-Nazi would be fascist, right? This NOT even right wing much less far right.
Socialism: Govt ownership and control of the means of production.
Fascism: Govt control of the means of production with supposed private ownership of such means by those blessed by the rulers.
Sorry, but have been sick and tired of being tared with fascists for a long time; well past time to show the lie of it.
Good point.
Just because they’re to the right of Marx and Lenin does not mean they are of the right.
Socialists of all stripes are of the LEFT, and we need to keep reminding people of that.
