But these are groups aggressively emerging out of closet the moment their governments are getting a bit softer. A lot in common with the Middle East. It is a primary reason why I was suspicious about Ukrainian spring in the first place. I was pointing at this here early during Arab spring too, just to be condemned by certain FReepers. It seems like most of them has changed their minds now.
Be fair, many of them are the typical football hooligans you find in that part of the world. Poland has a bad problem with them as well, especially between the two main Krakow teams, really nasty bunch of stuff. They go around wearing swastikas (how could any Pole wear a Swastika is beyond me).
A lot more common with the Balkans. The Ukrainians have been for centuries dominated by Russia and/or Poland, never in modern times independent. That’s why they, like the Baltics, allied themselves with Germany during WWII, hoping to gain independence. If Pete Seeger could ally himself with the butcher of millions Stalin and end up a hero to millions, then why not the Ukrainians alligning themselves with Hitler BEFORE he became a butcher?! Get an ounce of historical perspective!
