9. The research (reality) on this has been posted many times. They are significant

and the makeup of Neo-Nazi groups and the de-facto alliance are historical.

Here is what I have posted before. A few of these characters have been removed or stepped down, but only after it became evident that the bad press was overwhelming. But make no mistake, for every one in high office there are many other staff behind the scenes. There is no way to cover up the fact that the Kyiv regime represents both a minority democratically and is far right.

The fact that Ukraine has a private battalion made up of outward Neo-Nazi's is quite the evidence in itself. How did that happen?

Project Censored has included stories that have been validated and are candidates for inclusion in the top under-reported stories of the year:

Neo-Nazi's in executive positions in Ukraine's government:

Andriy Parubiy - National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine - Co-founder of Social-National Party of Ukraine together with Oleh Tyahnybok
Dmytro Yarosh, second-in-command of the National Defense and Security Council - Right Sector neo-Nazi commander
Oleksandr Sych is one of three Vice Prime Ministers member of neo-Nazi Svoboda
Oleg Makhnitsky Prosecutor-General (Attorney General) member of neo-Nazi Svoboda
Education Ministry Serhiy Kvit member of neo-Nazi Svoboda
Andriy Makhnyk Ecology Ministry, member of neo-Nazi Svoboda
Ihor Shvaiko Agriculture Ministry, member of neo-Nazi Svoboda
Tetyana Chernovol, chair of the government’s anti-corruption committee, UNA-UNSO (half of the organization founded Right Sector)
Dmytro Bulatov, Minster for Youth and Sports, UNA-UNSO

This does not include lower level but still powerful positions which are reported to have many right sector and svoboda members as well.

Ihor Tenyukh was Minister of Defense until he resigned for unknown reasons the day after Oleksandr Muzychko was killed - Svoboda


Foreign Policy: Yes there are "bad guys" in the Ukraine government

Today, Svoboda holds a larger chunk of its nation's ministries (nearly a quarter, including the prized defense portfolio) than any other far-right party on the continent. Ukraine's deputy prime minister represents Svoboda (the smaller, even more extreme "Right Sector" coalition fills the deputy National Security Council chair), as does the prosecutor general and the deputy chair of parliament -- where the party is the fourth-largest. And Svoboda's fresh faces are scarcely different from the old: one of its freshmen members of parliament is the founder of the "Joseph Goebbels Political Research Centre" and has hailed the Holocaust as a "bright period" in human history.

Here is a video of the extremists in action. They terrify the more moderate rightests in office who understand what they are capable of. This is a scene from a protest which included a battalion, because they were inpatient to get out and kill more people. Regardless of who they wanted to kill (militants or Russians as a whole), this is BLOODLUST. Not a nice thing to have running rampant in a country.
