True, but then there are neo-nazi group that exist everywhere, INCLUDING RUSSIA.Yeah but that doesn't mean that neo nazi group doesn't exist. In fact, the people who stormed the parliament in 2014 were exactly that. Ever since they have played a larger role in Ukraine politics. Azov regiment is now officially part of the army. The divide within the country itself is deep. In western Ukraine - their national hero, Stepan Bandera - is somehow who helped nazi germany against the USSR. While in the south and east their national hero is the ones who fought against Stepan Bandera and nazi Germany. That illustrates the divide that exists between ethnic russian and ukranians.
After the storming and overthrow of the government of Ukraine in 2014. The nazists burned 30-40 people while locking them inside a building in Odessa, these people were ethnic russians. This led to Crimeans parliament declaring independence and rebellion in Donbass region. So yes, nazi ideologi has infiltrated the power elite in Ukraine.

But then can you name me one "Neo Nazi" influence beside Azov Battalion? You do know that Azov Battalion is a small Military Unit (about 400 men) in Ukrainian National Guard. I mean they aren't even big as a miltiary unit, let alone have any real meaningful effect on the government as a whole.
Also, do you know how Russian treated Captured Ukrainian journalist who cover the Pro-Russian rebel capture and execute the government (Burn them alive) official in Eastern Ukraine?? They broke their fingernail and cut off their arms then execute them. And do you know what those Russia was called by the Ukrainian? - Nazis
So which side is the real Nazis here? Russia or Ukraine? It depends on your perspective, if you are Russian, Ukrainian are the Nazis, and if you are a Ukrainian, then the Russian are Nazis. So tell me, have you been to either place to know which one is Nazi? Or you are just telling me because you took someone view?
Finally, the prespective of Maidan "Overthrowing" a legitimate government is false, Yanukovych government were not a majority government, he only got 48.7% of vote, he has a power sharing deal with Tymoshenko to govern the country. But then he jailed Tymoshenko and rolled back the EU deal (Which is part of the power sharing deal) Before Maidan happen, Tymoshenko party already pull out the power sharing deal and triggered a election, true, by definiton, Yanukovych is still the president, but the government of Ukraine is no longer valid as the parliament is dissolved, that is when Yanukovych realise he cannot possibly win another election and going to jail and flee the country with 2 billions dollars. That is what started Maidan.
