I just quote:
"It is a very good time for Right Sector and other extremists] because we have a common enemy in Russia," said Father Stepan Sus, a priest at the Greek Catholic Church of Peter and Paul in Lviv.
Rise of Anti-Russian Feeling
For centuries, western Ukraine was part of Poland and then the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the latter collapsed in World War I.
During the chaos that followed the Russian Revolution in 1917, Ukrainian nationalists fought Poles, Germans, and both White and Red Russian armies.
Lviv only became part of the Soviet Union in 1944 as the advancing Red Army wrested Eastern Europe from the Nazis.
