I'd draw your attention to Sky TVs series Ross Kemp's Extreme World...Ukraine broadcast in 2015 it was due to be shown again last year but strangely that never happened. The program begins by witnessing a torch light parade in Kyiv and we are talking thousands of participents in that event. If you search you can still find the full video on the net.

Furthermore I'd add an article from ABC News Australia...

Ukraine crisis: Inside the Mariupol base of the controversial Azov battalion" 2015

"The first thing you notice as you walk through the corridors of the Azov battalion's base in Mariupol are the swastikas.

There are many — painted on doors, adorning the walls and chalked onto the blackboards of this former school, now temporary headquarters for the Azov troops....... "

When I attended my first 'Political History' lesson way back when, the teacher sat down and asked the class a question.

"What is Left Wing and Right Wing".

Us pupils mumbled replies the teacher stood up and said "Left Wing is the State is all important and Right Wing the Individual is all important."

When our politicians and their mouthpieces talk of "The Right" the definition is Right Wing bad. They tell us the Nazis are Right Wing, but thats a nonsense the Nazis were socialists the clue is in the official name of Nazi Party, the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The Nazi state was all important.

The State being all important wants, indeed needs, to quash the individual, the Right. However that need not mean all States are bad.
