    You are giving too much credit here. It reads to me more like someone having fallen for key points of Russian propaganda but not fully yet to the complete package. Especially regarding Maidan. This was a sustained mass movement, against the risk of being hurt or even killed. We ard talking about actual supporters in the millions. Large movements like this will attract a multitude of groups, also extreme ones just ad well as false flag contribters by the regime struggling for survival. Calling the entire movement far right is so far detached from reality it is ludicrous. Did the US support it? Likely. Did they manufacture that revolution? Ridiculous and beyond anything the CIA could accomplish at this scale.

    Just compare it to the Russian “uprisings” in the Donbas etc. Russia had to send its own men dressing up as Ukrainians and never managed anything resembling even remotely an actual public movement. That’s how manufactured uprisings look like. They only got supportive “protests” in larger sizes after taking over complete power and turning the region into a stalinist style puppet state, with torture, persecution etc.
