And you have to wonder how many of those types in the Ukrainian opposition actually were hired and paid by Russia to dress and act like neofascist agitators. I wonder how Russian media got such clear images of these so-called neofascists.

Since Russia deliberately sent "unmarked" troops without insignias or badges into Ukraine to take over Crimea, I'm sure they would be capable of hiring fake neofascists.

This is the same kind of thing the FBI used to infiltrate the movement opposed to the Vietnam War; it's not a new tactic.
