National Geographic: The Ukrainian radical right is now in a clear and open struggle, said Vyacheslav Likhachev, a Jewish-Ukrainian expert on the far right. Their enemy is not Jews, but Russia and pro-Russian supporters and activists in Ukraine. Denis Pushilin may not have been behind the flyers distributed at the Donetsk synagogue, but a number of pro-Russian members of his circle could have been. Russian far-right groups such as Russian National Unity and the Eurasian Youth Union are active in the separatist cause, and Pavel Gubarev, the self-declared peoples governor of Donetsk is a former neo-Nazi. I think there is more of a threat of anti-Semitic provocations from the side of the Kremlin, Likhachev said. news.nationalgeographic/news/2014/05/140530-ukraine-jews-poroshenko-putin-pushilin-right-sector-lviv-zissels/
