There are a couple of informative pieces on the history of the far-right in Ukraine by Per Anders Rudling, an associate professor of the Department of History at Lund University, specialising in nationalism, the Holocaust and the far right in the Polish-Ukrainian-Byelorussian borderlands. Part One < http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=11568>. Part Two < http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=11574>. This piece, by Zoltán Grossman, gives a reasonably well-balanced view of the significance of the far-right in the new Ukrainian government, providing an overview which avoids the distorted view of those who crudely write off the events in Kiev as a 'fascist coup', on the one hand, and, on the other, those who, to my mind, show a rather complacent attitude to the arrival for the first time since 1945 of the hard-right in a European government cabinet < http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37908.htm >.
