1. I had no idea he declared John Demjanjuk a hero who was “fighting for truth.”

Tyahnybok "praised John Demjarijuk, convicted as a participant in the murder of 30,000 people in Nazi concentration camps, as a hero"?
"His assistant has founded a think-tank called ‘the Joseph Goebbels Political Research Center, named after Nazi Germany’s head propagandist"?

I remember reading about the other stuff and their Joseph Goebbels Political Research Center but I'd forgotten that his assistant founded it. I'm going to look for a link about Tyahnybok praising John Demjanjuk, but that's no surprise because he's a bone fide, card-carrying Nazi.

Just found it:

One of the “Big Three” political parties behind the protests is the ultra-nationalist Svoboda, whose leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, has called for the liberation of his country from the “Muscovite-Jewish mafia.” After the 2010 conviction of the Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk for his supporting role in the death of nearly 30,000 people at the Sobibor camp, Tyahnybok rushed to Germany to declare him a hero who was “fighting for truth.” In the Ukrainian parliament, where Svoboda holds an unprecedented 37 seats, Tyahnybok’s deputy Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn is fond of quoting Joseph Goebbels – he has even founded a think tank originally called “the Joseph Goebbels Political Research Center.” According to Per Anders Rudling, a leading academic expert on European neo-fascism, the self-described “socialist nationalist” Mykhalchyshyn is the main link between Svoboda’s official wing and neo-Nazi militias like Right Sector.

How reassuring to have this guy now "Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Informatization and Information Technologies".



How *cute*. He's wearing an 88 Lapel pin? 88 stands for H H (letter 8 of the alphabet H) and is the neoNazi / White Power symbol for "Heil Hitler"
