I had no idea that to be a Ukrainian patriot meant that one belonged to Right Sector. To put it in perspective, the Ukrainian parliament is composted of 450 members. Exactly one of them belongs to Right Sector.

There is a common misconception (well, a LIE) put forward by the Russkies that Right Sector is a Nazi organization. The pictures I showed were, in fact, of Ukrainian Jews in Right Sector, of two leaders, actually. Bezler is the Chief of Communications for Right Sector and was involved from the very beginning. Chazin is a battalion commander. They even use the Star of David on their patches. Right Sector isn't just one group. It is many different right-wing groups in Ukraine that are joined up under that banner. Once of those groups, an obviously racial one, was expelled early on:

"Founding groups included Trident (Tryzub), led by Dmytro Yarosh and Andriy Tarasenko; and the Ukrainian National Assembly–Ukrainian National Self-Defense (UNA–UNSO), a political/paramilitary organization.[5][6] Other founding groups included Patriot of Ukraine, the Social-National Assembly, White Hammer, and Carpathian Sich. White Hammer was expelled in March 2014.[7] In June 2014 one of the groups was assigned by the Interior Ministry to surveil Mariupol after it captured the city from Russian-backed insurgents.[8]"

Right Sector is called "far right wing" because they advocate fighting Russia and second amendment type rights for every Ukrainian. Naturally, those make them very bad. By the way, the "Wolfsangel" thing is a Svoboda symbol, not Right Sector.
