Like the post upstream that says the media said there were "no extremists" on the Maidan.

It's essential for there to be two extreme poles in this dispute, the forces of Right and Good and the forces of fascist hate and evil. If you're not with them you're against them, and it's impossible for a crowd to be diverse.

Ukraine will have to deal with the far-right, which isn't an uncommon occurrence in general in revolutions. You find common ground in opposition. Then, afterwards, you have to decide what to do. (Some find the differences dividing them to be even greater than opposition to armed invasion and annexion, arrest of dissidents and quelling of free speech, imperialism and opposition. And they call others extreme.)
