Far Right Political Parties in Contemporary Ukraine: The Aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity
Journal Title: European Journal of Transformation Studies - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The Revolution of Dignity, annexation of Crimea and outbreak of military conflict in the Eastern Ukraine led to overall increase of the level of patriotism and support of ideas, typical for far right political parties. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the party system has changed significantly (approximately one-third of all Ukrainian parties have been registered in or after February 2014), a few clearly identify themselves as the far right. Moreover, their electoral results are low and they remain marginal. It leads to a belief that the far right ideology will not gain much support in contemporary Ukraine.
