the current goverments in kiev is using neo-nazi's to suppress anyone who is againsts them. yes, i know it sounds crazy. but it is true.
the whole maidan area was littered with ultra-rightwing graffiti (celtic crosses, 88, wolf's hook). you can see plenty of pictures of that online.
the very first thing the new people did was banning russian language, while their supportes proceeded to demolish old soviet monuments and memorials to ww2 veterals.
people up east in Donetsk and in Craimia did want to put up with this. there was a referendum in both areas where most people voted to declare themselves a separate country.
craimia was than taken in by russia. donets area on other hand is being bombed by the federal army.
