Talk:Svoboda

The article needs updating. Svoboda has declined in recent years, and that it has no current members of parliament, and very few in local government, as far as I can tell. --Jackin the box (talk) 09:21, May 27, 2022 (EDT)

Here's an interesting source:

signs of public support were certainly present during the revolution, with Black and Red UPA flags flying across central Kyiv alongside those of the neo-Nazi Svoboda period. This does not necessarily indicate widespread positive sentiment, however. Despite the ubiquity of Svoboda flags in the Maidan, the party lost almost all its electoral support following the fall of the Yanukovych government, as it failed to pass the 5 percent threshold needed to gain representation in the Rada.

Despite Svoboda's rejection by the public in elections and public opinion polls (46% have a negative view, primarily ethnic Russians vs only 22% support), it is undeniable that the Obama State Department knowingly used Nazis to topple the legitimate, democratically elected government of Ukraine; and the present Ukrainian government is an illegal government. The Black and Red, blood and soil flag is still widespread throughout Ukraine and on the battlefield. Not to mention in Canada where the Deputy Prime Minister has been seen holding it.

If Nancy Pelosi calls Hungary Ukraine a democracy, that should be your first clue that Ukraine is not a democracy. RobS^Z 12:53, June 6, 2022 (EDT)
