Right Sector has no representation at either the cabinet or parliamentary level.

While it is undisputed both Svoboda and Right Sector are ultranationalist organizations and not particularly good guys in general, whether they actually qualify as "neo-Nazi" is still a matter of debate. Specifically though as it relates to Svoboda, they are something of a tempest in a teapot, but one that the pro-Russian side is constantly trying to exploit.
