> You should have also cited some Russian news...

I do investigate my sources of information and, when discussing anything, I always try to use sources that are legitimate to all discussing parties.

So, please, don't invent stuff. This information source is not sympathetic to Russia. Also, it supports the Ukrainian protests. I have yet to read a single article from Cпільне that is pro-Russia in even the slightest way.

Back in the autumn on one of the Moscow suburban electric train stations I've spoken to a man from Ukraine that has said that the economic situation in the country is terrible and it is on the brink of the civil war.

I wish Ukrainians all the best in their struggle for freedom and better life, but the main players of Ukrainian opposition might be much better off not allying itself with Nazi sympathizers. If they won't do it, they might alienate Eastern Ukrainians that also hate Yanukovych to the point that they might have an armed internal conflict.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm not familiar with the source, but abstract you cited is manipulation. There's no trained militants, nazi, etc. Such texts are used to divide East/West Ukraine, so current regime can survive (classic divide and conquer).
