Here's a BBC article from 2014 about how Russia is completely overstating the nazi presence in the country, they just give neonazis citizenship and Azov have 3 Nazi symbols in their logo.

Here's another one about Right Sector, an ultranationalist alliance and one of the players in the 2013 Maiden coup.

How about this incident where thousands of Nazis demanded recognition for the Nazi aligned UPA?

Funny how all the Nazis immediately disappeared when Russia invaded though. Almost like one of those whitewashing things.

Thanks for the sources. However, these don't really support the point. For "run by them and filled by them", I would expect more than a right wing party barely passing the 5% and someone claiming that they can mobilize 0.1% of the population.

Actual, literal, Hitler-loving Nazis are included at the table. I'm sure you're familiar with the expression about 10 people at a table with a nazi.
