After Party of Regions deputy Nestor Shufrych was beaten up by an angry mob in Odesa on Sept. 30, representatives of the right-wing movement Right Sector said he “organized his beating by himself.”
Shufrych said the accusation was “total idiocy.” Cases of mob assault
against politicians are increasingly more frequent. Some politicians
have ended up in trash dumpsters as people have been growing
increasingly more frustrated with recycling of the old faces who have
been a part of the old, corrupt system of governance in Ukraine.
