'''Arsen Borisovich Avakov''' is a key [[Ukrainian]] [[oligarch]] and a key organizer of the [[Maidan coup]]. Avakov's wealth is estimated at $110 million and he was listed as the 118th richest person in Ukraine.  With his money Avakov hired neo-Nazi hooligans to assist in the overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of Ukraine, using violent acts including the [[mass murder]] of the "[[Heavenly Hundred]]" on Maidan Square on February 16, 2014.  In the coup, Avakov was selected by the [[U.S. State Department]] to serve as Interior Minister, in charge of the state secret police and security services for the U.S.-backed Maidan regime. Avakov greatly expanded the Ministry of Interior's paramilitary forces to include organized neo-Nazi groups, which immediately began receiving [[NATO]] weapons and training for armed conflict against the citizens of Ukraine of Russian extraction.
