The Right Sector is the most radical wing of Ukraine's Maidan protest movement that toppled President Viktor Yanukovych in February.
Originally set up as an alliance of ultra-nationalist groups in November 2013, the Right Sector is now a party and its leader, Dmytro Yarosh, is running for president in the 25 May election - although his poll rating is negligible.
Critics at home say the party's inflammatory rhetoric and violence is helping Russian media to depict Ukraine as overrun with "neo-Nazis" who threaten the Russian-speaking population.
The Right Sector is trying to portray itself as a responsible party, but enough doubts remain about its attitude and intentions to cause unease in both pro-Kiev and pro-Moscow camps.
Protest role
Activists claiming to be Right Sector members were involved in Kiev's Maidan protests from late November, but the group did not attract much attention until violent clashes with police in central Kiev on 19 January, in which it played a leading role.
By early February Mr Yarosh was saying the Right Sector had 500 fighters on Independence Square and could mobilise up to 5,000 nationwide, although close observers of the protests doubt this.

1.) Salon.com had one, for example. 2.) International Business Times: "Euromaidan: The Dark Shadows of the Far-Right in the Ukraine Protests" 3.) CNN: Opinion: "Rein In Ukraine's Neo-Fascists" 4.) The Daily Beast: "Can Ukraine Control Its Far Right Ultranationalists?"
Some of the MSM outlets that seemed to be acting one way when it came to Libya, for example, acted another way when it came to Ukraine. Obama didn't have the support for Ukraine, it seems, in many reports, that he seemed to have for Libya. Now, the reports are angled at keeping the U.S. out of intervening in Ukraine.
Even American Spectator, that pro-Russian, pro-Putin rag (sarcasm) recently exposed Svoboda.
The past IB Times article - ohhhh those Putinistas! Even the Obama-loving LA Times and NBC News have past articles that rip Svoboda and/or Right Sector. They must be in league with RT!!! /sarcasm.
That would be awesome.
The McCainiacs and Soronistas here will love it!
Straw Man on your part.
Well, that was not long... Spund the retreat feom the red line... we just did not have the exact red line you thought we had....
A Ukrainian ‘ultra nationalist’ is a Ukrainian who doesn’t miss being ruled by Moscow.
Screw the Beeb.
Well, that was not long... Sound the retreat from the red line... we just did not have the exact red line you thought we had....
And don’t forget the IB Times, and American Spectator. Oh, those far-left, Putinista rags! /s
BTW, does that mean that those who lean right and have exposed Svoboda and Right sector are also siding with Vlad? LOL.
So Svoboda and Right Sector don’t miss being ruled by Moscow?
Got any photos of hard-line communists in Moscow? Or “Ukrainians” marching under the hammer & sickle? Oh, wait, our Russian Freepers say it “doesn’t matter.”
Do you as an American miss being ruled by London? If so then I suppose you’re an ultra-nationalist.
Thanks.
You have heard about the Blaze getting ready to report on some so-called Benghazi/McCain story?
Apples to Oranges argument.
I see. So our right to self-determination is okay but a Ukrainian right to self-determination is wrong. So noted.
Did I say that I care for the commies in Ukraine? No.
When the Commies and Nazi’s in Ukraine went at it during a parliamentary meeting, I didn’t care for either side. Both sides stunk and stink to high heaven.
So, why should the U.S. get involved? Huh?
Oh wait, the McCainiac Freepers here say that we must intervene. Need to arm them Syrian “rebels”, and Ukraianians, and saddle-up with them Muslim Bro’Hood’s. Yee Hah! /sarcasm.
Sure could use that pic of Dr. Strangelove McCain riding the missile here!!!
Ah, can’t forget what happened with arming Afghani’s in the 80’s, right? Did that come back to bite us?
Where do you live?
LOL—”please provide me with some personal information, so that I may engage in a personal attack.”
No.
You yourself say “self-”
That means THEY -determine, and WE stay out of it.
Duly note.
And, by that I mean - in Ukraine or the US, or some other country. I don’t care about you actual address.
