"Svoboda holds 38 seats out of 450 in Parliament. It got 10% of the vote. There are 15,000 members of the party. It is a minority party that does not represent the views of the vast majority of Ukrainians."

There you go.

There are more outright Communists in the U.S.

Neo-Nazis: “Svoboda holds 38 seats out of 450 in Parliament. It got 10% of the vote. There are 15,000 members of the party. It is a minority party that does not represent the views of the vast majority of Ukrainians.”

Communists: “In the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election the party won 13.18% of the national votes, and no constituencies (it had competed in 220 of the 225 constituencies[31]), and thus 32 seats.”

So what we see is that there are two extremist wings of roughly the same size.

We can just as easily paint the deposed President as a Communist as we can paint the revolutionaries as Neo-Nazis by association with the most extreme elements of their respective political wings.

I suspect that the vast majority of Ukes are middle-roaders, and with some good electioneering an judgment, they will choose a NICE conservative government. :-)

Let’s wait and see, rather than paint a whole people with a brush of the 10% Neo-Nazis.

The major appeal of Svoboda is nationalism.
