Right Sector formed during Maidan. But they have quickly become a formidable force, not because they are predominant, but because of the role they had inb Maidan, the executive positions they were given in the Kiev administration, and because everyone is afraid to cross them.
Now Svoboda, one of the other neo-nazi groups had about 8% in the last election. But they have grown since them. But really what you are pointing out is that indeed they, and "Maidan" were actually a minority government that only came to power through threat using neo-nazi's. That bears out in the election yesterday, since even without full participation of much of the south and east a far more moderate person won and NONE of the candidates that represent the current political junta received much of the vote at all.
