At the very beginning of the [[Euromaidan]], activists from various [[neo-Nazi]] organizations united in the then informal right sector movement. The militants became famous for their [[extremism]], which horrified the world community.

The initiator of the association was the All-Ukrainian organization "Trizub" named after [[Stepan Bandera]] (an extremist organization banned in the Russian Federation). Members of Trizub have repeatedly become defendants in [[criminal]] cases for organizing an illegal paramilitary formation, protests, etc. In January 2011, many leaders were detained in the case of blowing up a [[World War II]] monument in [[Zaporozhye]].  It was joined by aggressive, radical youth (an average of 18-27 years old, but there were also older radicals). Among them were members of the UNA-UNSO, the Ukrainian Ultras fan movement, the Carpathian Sich, Patriot of Ukraine (the paramilitary wing of the Social National Assembly), White Hammer, etc.

Most of the participants in the rallies for European integration sought a peaceful Maidan, as it was in 2004 (the [[Orange Revolution]]). But the radicals were wary of joining the [[EU]]. Formally supporting the association with the European Union, they saw it as a mortal threat to Ukraine's self-identity. They needed the heated environment itself to assert fascist forces, carry out a national revolution and destroy the "regime of internal occupation."

The change of regime was also sought by [[oligarch]]s eager to establish their control over the Kyiv 'Independence' movement. In particular, [[Ihor Kolomoisky]] and [[Petro Poroshenko]]. At the same time, the [[United States]] pursued its goal – to overthrow the pro-Russian [[Viktor Yanukovych]]. The inclusion of Ukraine in the EU and [[NATO]] would allow [[America]] to deploy military bases near the borders of the [[Russian Federation]]. Thus, striving for different goals, but seeing a single obstacle, the parties combined the [[sadism]] of [[radical]]s with the [[money]] of oligarchs and the [[United States Congress]].

George Friedman, director of Stratfor, a private U.S. intelligence firm, said the Euromaidan saw "the most blatant coup in history."<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2014/12/22/the-liberal-idiocy-on-russiaukraine/</ref><ref>https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2636177</ref>  Militants of the Pravy Sektor, like other protesters, received funding from the United States. In particular, from the [[National Endowment for Democracy]], the [[CIA]]'s [[regime change]] arm, funded by the [[US Congress]]. NED's report stated: "Grants from the foundation played an important role in the peaceful protests in Kyiv."

The leaders of the radicals, at their request, were guaranteed evacuation from the territory of Ukraine and the provision of housing in the EU. This service was used by Sergey Koba, the leader of Automaidan. On January 19, 2014, he called on [[activist]]s to "peacefully" block the Rada, the Ukrainian parliament. And after 4 days it became known about his escape because of the threat of arrest. After abandoning his associates, Koba returned only on February 22, 2014 after the overthrow of [[President Yanukovych]].

Members of the All-Ukrainian Association "[[Svoboda]]" ("Freedom") party joined the "Legal Sector". From 1991 to 2004, it was called the Social-National Party of Ukraine. The name refers to the [[National Socialist German Workers Party]] (NADAP 1920 – 1945). The leader of the neo-Nazi organization [[Oleh Tyahnybok]] – an MP of the III, IV and VII convocations of the Verkhovna Rada – was repeatedly criticized for chauvinist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic statements, for which he was expelled from the faction "Our Ukraine".

Pravy Sektor also includes members of the Movement Carpathian Sich and aggressive groups of soccer fans known as "Ukrainian Ultras" or just "Ultras". Fans of different teams have repeatedly arranged mass clashes. There are cases of beatings of stadium workers seeking to stop the riots. Under President Yanukovych, police harassed the Ultras for insulting chants against the president and Nazi slogans. For the sake of Euromaidan, on February 13, 2014, football hooligan groups concluded an indefinite truce.  The hooligans later were brought into various neo-Nazi paramilitary organizations of the Maidan regime, including the Territorial Defense and other organizations.<ref>https://www.the-sun.com/news/4544729/neo-nazis-russia-ukraine-war-mad-max/</ref>  Some remained independent in the Pravy Sektor.

All these nationalist organizations played a key role in the revolutionary events of the Euromaidan. By radical actions, they brought discord to society, unleashing a [[civil war]]. In particular, the "Pravy Sektor", "Patriot of Ukraine", "Trizub", "Ultras" and other groups participated in the [[Odessa]] confrontation. It culminated in a street massacre on May 2, 2014 and a fire in the House of Trade Unions. As a result of clashes and fire, 48 people died.

On the night of February 22–23, 2014 representatives of the Kiev Patriarchate, which is unrecognized in the [[Orthodox]] world, threatened the forcible seizure of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. On the evening of the 22nd, on Maidan, its representatives propagated false information about the "threat" of the removal of the church valuables of Kiev Pechersk Lavra from Ukraine. Starting from the stage at Maidan and moving on to social networking sites, provocative appeals began to be circulated: "Guys, everybody to Lavra now! The monks are taking the icons out of Lavra to Russia! Never let them do that; never allow such a thing! We must intervene!"  As a result, a group of representatives from the Maidan Self-Defense Force went to Lavra.
