I don't think that's correct.
The Social-National Party of Ukraine was the openly Neo-Nazi party. They disbanded about 15? year ago. Their support in Ukraine was about one-half of one percent at that time.
From that disbanded party, Svoboda Party sprung out. They publicly dis-avowed Neo-Nazism. They now claim to be a nationalist party and their support has risen to about 10% of the voting publicly.
Of course there is no telling what may slither out from some of the former SNPU party members who now belong to Svoboda. We've seen at least a couple of anti-semitic quotes from Svoboda Party members.
But in a similar manner there are Russians who are members of several political parties in Ukraine who think Stalin is a hero.

That's the same Stalin who starved to death 7 - 10 million ethnic Ukrainians.
Those people who raised the Stalin statue are in WESTERN Ukraine. There are almost no Russians near where the Stalin statue was erected. “Anti-government” as of Feb 3, when the article was written, refers to the supporters of the MAIDAN; Yanukovich’s regime was still present.

So, since the Banderites WERE Nazis...
