I did not use the picture to "prove" something, my friend.
If you don't like the illustration, well, that's too bad. To remind you once again of the point it illustrates:
The Western media is seeking to downplay the prominent role of fascists in the new Ukrainian government. Several of the regimes ministries are headed by members of the far-right Svoboda party, and the militias of the neo-fascist Right Sector are active in violently repressing resistance in the east of the country.

After Yanukovich fled his palatial estate by helicopter, EuroMaidan protesters destroyed a memorial to Ukrainians who died battling German occupation during World War II. Sieg heil salutes and the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol have become an increasingly common site in Maidan Square, and neo-Nazi forces have established autonomous zones in and around Kiev.
