There seem to be facts strongly opposing the parts of what is said there regarding the degree of popularity with Kiltschko.
Marina Weisband, a member of the German Pirate Party, reported that Klitschko was hardly present in the people's perception, and surely wouldn't be favoured as future head of their government. The western media keep mentioning him there, probably mainly because of his degree of popularity. He probably wouldn't be a bad choice, though.
The Nazi-thing with the Maidan revolution may be a matter of propaganda and counter-propaganda. But then, it may not. It may be as it usually is with the Nazi f**ks, which is that they observe what goes down well with Johnny Common at the time, where they may find acceptance or even support for their activities, to hijack other's initiatives and then do their populist retro rant thing.
There were pictures on Spiegel Online (German magazine) showing shields held by protesters that had a 1488* written on. There were those pitty buzzers with stiff right arms seen in several places in the Kiev protests as well. So I conclude Putin is not
all off tracks with his claims of far right influence in those protests. Funnily, Putin campains with far right wing-ish political positions, yet condemns the far right.. Anyway, I'm with him in condemning them, obviously.
It may be a very post-war German thing to grind one's teeth and growl when Nazis enter any stage, but especially with Hungary being neighbour to the Ukraine, there actually might be influence from that neighbour and the surroundings of its far right government, which probably are way more extremist than the party themselves.
Looking at what happened to the Arabian revolutions, this would be a familiar pattern:
-Courageous, idealistic activists take actions against authoritarian/corrupt regiemes, with a plan for a more world open and generally more open minded, progressive and liberal government in their minds.
-They find support in their country, foreign media support them, foreign power (Ecconomical or political) smell an opportunity.
-The Activists succede, the dictatorship falls, elections are held.
-Foreign influence on the election campains in those countries that are not familiar with democratic daily life, vote what they think or are told or are told to think of as righteous power. The elections bring up
certain powers that are in favour of those
certain foreign influences. (In the case of the arabian revolutions, Muslim Brotherhood etc. were substancially supported by Arabian royals from Qatar, Oman etc. as support for their own power abroad.)
-Due to the foreign support, some backwards oriented, authoritarian sock puppet government is elected, the activists that initiated the change end up betrayed for their victory or even as potential enemies of the state.
Nazis know that they never do better than when things are destabilized, and Ukraine may have looked an easy steal.
So what started as a move by decent activists for the better may end up at things turning to the worst.
That far right part of the protesters is to be watched
most carefully. They are not there to support the people or any democratic ideal,
they are there for a cheap steal.
Putin may be a bastard, but he's not a dafty. He saw that.
(But what I guess Putin is unable to realize through his cold warrior's vision thing is that, in the (possibly not so) long run, Russia will have to deal with becomming one ecconomical sphere with the EU. Not only because of its proximity but the sheer economical weight of the EU countries. Don't ask me how that's going to work, though.
The USA have seen that, too. Thus there are those talks behind closed curtains for the trans atlantic free trade with the USA. (Don't ask me how *THAT* is going to work though, Merkel already spat 70% of the Germans right in the face when she let the genetiacally manipulated corn get a foot in the door to Europe. That was DRASTICALLY unpopular with the Germans! I wonder since when she had the balls to do anything as unpopular at all! No miracle it was a move in the wrong direction, it was her
not moving according to given directions!))
*if anyone really didn't know: 1488 is a code used by
Combat 18, referring to the first, fourth and eighth letters of the alphabet which they, in this combination, read as "Arian Domination, Heil Hitler". Thus a savy person wouldn't expect to find a fundamental democrat displaying such insignia.
That Nazi terrorist den, that has been roaming through germany for a decade (One wonders where all the observationers of all those services were looking then..), used the methods of terror as suggested by those 1488er f***s as blueprint for committing their attrocities.
