Yes, there are neo-Nazis and ultranationalists in Ukraine.

Just like many places.

No, the recent change in power was not orchestrated by neo-Nazis, ultranationalists, the CIA, western Neo-cons, etc.

It was an organic Ukrainian movement spanning all ideologies, religious groups, linguistic groups, etc.

The "neo-Nazi/neo-con" coup is a false narrative being peddled by bored Westerners who feel as though the actual narrative isn't titillating enough.
