Ukraine's parliament in Kiev as deputies inside repeatedly voted down proposals to recognize a contentious World War II-era Ukrainian partisan group as national heroes.
Svoboda said its members were not responsible for the unrest, which police said was orchestrated by a small group of people at the rally.
Clashes broke out Tuesday between demonstrators and police in front of Ukraine's parliament in Kiev as deputies inside repeatedly voted down proposals to recognize a contentious World War II-era Ukrainian partisan group as national heroes.
Thousands of Svoboda nationalist party supporters rallied earlier in the capital in celebration of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, whose struggle for independence for Ukraine was tainted by its collaboration with the Nazis.
Later, masked men attacked and threw smoke grenades at lines of police outside parliament as lawmakers met inside. The Interior Ministry said 36 people were detained by police.
Svoboda said its members were not responsible for the unrest, which police said was orchestrated by a small group of people at the rally.
Remember the claims that that Svoboda and other fascist parties and militants were not the responsible for the PRO EU protests this suggests otherwise that they were.

Its in the section he intentionally edited to make the article sound like Svoboda was responsible and was merely refusing to take responsibility for its "members" who caused issues outside with police.
My mates from Ukraine originally flew out there a week ago, came back, reckons the place is literally falling apart. Says hardly anyone wanted a revolution, now lack of essentials, all the factories closed down, fuel, electricity gone through the roof.

The place is falling apart rapidly. I think that's why Nuland was sent over, to give the marching orders to Porky Poroshenko and get the fighting ramped up again before it all goes to pot.
Even the Ukrainian conscripted army is demonstrating over their treatment, lack of pay, conditions etc. I can see Porky and his cohorts getting ousted too at this rate.
When that happens, no doubt there will be certain individuals rushing to the forums to point the finger at Russia again for that too!
The Ukraine economy sucked prior to the mess, simply because it was under the boot of Moscow. now that Ukraine looked back towards the EU the Russian are determined to do as much damage to the Ukraine economy as they can.
