I fail to see these videos as somehow indicative that Ukraine is going one direction or another. What I'm seeing is chaos, violence and poor decision making. As Ukrainian society crumbles, the vacuum is bringing forth certain elements that would normally be shunned.
Neo-Nazis are not running the show; they are simply a small group of extremists trying to intimidate others, and take some limelight meanwhile. Those "freedom fighters" may have been provoked - or perhaps not. And if America fell to infighting, would it be unthinkable that some Texan might brandish a rifle in Congress, without necessarily being a Fascist or Communist?
These videos don't prove anything and should be taken with a grain of salt. When people are let loose, they often do regrettable things.
