Right Sector
Since 5 April 2015 Yarosh has acted as an advisor to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and on 11 November he formally stepped down as the group's leader. On 27 December he announced that he and his team would be withdrawing from the group entirely, declaring that Right Sector had fulfilled its purpose 'as a revolutionary structure' and was no longer needed. He stated he and his faction were against pseudo-revolutionary activity that threatens the state, fringe radicalism, and were against violent revolts against the current government. In a statement issued by Right Sector in response to Yarosh's departure, Right Sector stated the schism was due to continuing a 'revolutionary path'. The departure of Yarosh resulted in at least 20% of Right Sector members leaving with him. In February 2016 Yarosh started a new organisation called "Governmental Initiative of Yarosh". Since 19 March 2016 Andriy Tarasenko is the new chairman of Right Sector.
