The American media is reporting that th protests are in The Ukraine is a Pro-Democracy uprising against a Russian puppet government. As is usually the case when it involves Russia related events, it is not what it seems. It turns out the most prominent group in the Pro EU protests is a Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Party called Svoboda party. An even bigger twist, is that their main American backer is none other than John McCain.
Ukraine’s pro-EU protests show no sign of stopping – US Senator John McCain dined with opposition leaders this weekend, including the extreme far-right Svoboda party.
During his trip the former US presidential candidate met with government and opposition figures, but gave his endorsement to the pro-Europe protesters.
Senator McCain later waved to protesters from the stage in Independence Square during a mass rally in Kiev, standing with Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the anti-Semitic Svoboda party.

The ultra-nationalist group is aligned with other European far-right parties including the BNP, but their radical stance has made them a central force in the ongoing street protests.
The party was registered in 1995, initially called the Social National Party of Ukraine and using a swastika style logo.

However, in 2004 leader Oleh Tyahnybok gave a speech attacking what he called “the Moscow-Jewish mafia ruling Ukraine” and in another speech declared: “the Moskali, Germans, Kikes and other scum who wanted to take away our Ukrainian state.”
Despite the controversy his statements attracted in the West, Tyahnybok was voted Person of the Year by readers of Ukrainian news magazine Korrespondent last year.
In another outburst from the party their deputy chief, Ihor Miroshnychenko, wrote an anti-Semitic attack on Mila Kunis on Facebook: “Kunis is not Ukrainian, she is a Yid. She is proud of it, so Star of David be with her.”

After being pictured on stage at a rally with Fatherland leader, Vitaly Klitschko, and Svoboda’s Oleh Tyahnybok, McCain declared: “Those brave men and women should know that they are not alone. Their friends across the world stand in solidarity with them.”
Here is John McCain standing on the same stage with his new Nazi friend on the Right behind him.
Nice friends you have there John!
For the record, I have no stance on the Ukraine situation. The Nazi backed protests want to join the Marxist European Union which for me is an evil entity. The Ukraine is within Russia’s sphere of influence hence it is no concern to America or our interests.
One issue I do take with this article though is it’s description calling Nazis Far Right. They are socialist which is a Progressive ideology, not one of the Right. Anarcho-Capitalist/Libertarians are Far Right since they believe in no Government and complete individual freedom.
Update: Here is a picture of a Svoboda members marching.
These are the people our media claims are fighting for Ukrainian democracy.
