9. Is Svoboda in the Kiev government or not?

You have no understanding how power works, sir.

Right now, although they are unpopular with the people, the Ukrainian ethnic fascists of Svoboda are in the government and overseeing the security forces performing a bloody crackdown on ethnic Russians in the East. Do you know why that is? It has nothing to do with parliamentary "procedure," but with politics in the Ukrainian parliament. It's because Fatherland party under Yatsenyuk chose to enter a coalition with the Svoboda fascists. This was considered the best choice.

Your inability to speak the simplest reality - the fascists are in the government in Kiev - is telling.

Do you support the Yatsenyuk government? Are you for its economic and political program? Did you support the Yatsenyuk government's abolition of Russian as an official language of the state?
