Nationalism in Ukraine is traditionally understood as western Ukrainian and ethnic by Western scholars such as Germany’s Andreas Umland who have focused their research on Svoboda and western Ukrainian nationalists. Unfortunately, this analysis does not do justice to a complicated country such as Ukraine, where anti-democratic culture, racial intolerance, anti-Semitism and xenophobia are more prevalent in eastern and southern Ukraine and the Crimea.

There was a saying supposedly used by Mexican presidents: "for my friends, anything - for my enemies, the law.” The performance of the Ukrainian legal system throughout 2011 betrays the real attitude of Ukraine's authorities to the people and society. Football fans who dared to shout slogans or sing songs of a vaguely political nature during matches in Ukraine were the first to receive the hard end of this judgmental bias. One football fan was officially charged with hooliganism delivering the sentence of potentially up to four years imprisonment. A member of parliament has now filed a draft law suggesting penalty measures for anyone voicing political songs or slogans during or around Euro-2012 matches). Feb 7 at 20:23 | Viktor Tkachuk |
