Apparently, from what I have read, there actually is a neo-Nazi party in Ukraine.
In the Ukrainian parliamentary system, that party typically garners about 2% of the vote. But the fact that they even exist is probably more indicative of how terribly Ukrainians, historically, have been treated by Russia. If we were in a parliamentary system, would 2% of Americans vote for an explicitly pro-Nazi party? Probably not. In the popular American mind, Nazi=evil. But if you polled for attitudes and beliefs in the US, I am sure we could find 2% who have attitudes and beliefs that closely match those held by Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
