The rest of your post is pretty much argument soup--throwing in a little bit of IMF here, Svoboda there, Yatsenyuk over there, and a whole host of assertion fallacies, all while trying to desperately spin that contrary to what you've played up, Svoboda isn't nearly the driving force in Ukraine as you want it to be.

You pretty much set a world record of saying everything while proving nothing.
