### **Notes**

* Most leftists are neutral about the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, reject the on-going wars and advocate anti-militarism
* For a long time, Marxists and anarchists refused to comment on Maiden because they weren’t sure of the class characteristic of the protests, bourgeoise democracy of the parliament, inconsistencies in oligarchs’ positions, neoliberal re-alignment of Kiev as well as the far-right tendency of Moscow
* Getting involved in Maiden was a response to disinformation campaigns by various capitalist nations trying to divide up the region
* StopFake has a neo-Nazi problem within the last few years (discovered as of July 2020). The organisation started off as neutral then veered into political activism, thus anything published recently should be scrutinised until the outlet purges its own fascist creep

* Before Maiden, Ukrainian neo-Nazis used to be part of the networks within the European New Right which received funding from Russian oligarchs.
* Most of this funding disappeared after Maiden and Ukrainian far-right became isolated, with most European neo-Nazis not even supporting Ukrainian ultra-nationalists. The only support Ukrainian ultra-nationalists receive are from a few Russian ethno-nationalist groups who resent [the already] far-right Russian imperialists and far-right Russian autocrats for allowing internal migration of ethnic groups and see the Donbas as a way to force Kremlin to bend toward ethno-nationalism
* Russian, Belarusan and Ukrainian Marxists, social democrats, democratic socialists, greens, anarchists and other leftists are engaged in a three-way fight. They are already aware of the Right Sector and state governments’ collaborations with the far-right
* In the 2019 elections, 2-3% of the vote went to pro-Ukraine far-right, and 18% of the votes went to the pro-Russia far-right and pro-Russia moderates. The majority of the votes went toward a Jewish president under a non-ideological big tent
* Neo-Nazis are not consistent in their ethno-nationalist ideologies as pro-Ukraine neo-Nazis will attack Ukrainian anti-fascist rallies and activists commemorating the deaths of Russian anti-fascists murdered by pro-Russia neo-Nazis
* pro-Ukraine neo-Nazis will attack any internationalist solidarity rallies Ukrainian anti-fascists have with Russian anti-fascists protesting pro-Russia neo-Nazis
* 75% of Ukranians support the Red Army in contemporary politics while Bandera only receives 8% while surveying about WWII memories
