I have spent time in both Kyiv and Lviv and have to say your account of the situation seems to be complete different than what I experienced. Do you think what you're saying is still accurate for someone who left what seems as a long time ago and has never been back. The power didn't go out on us and I saw no skin heads. I didn't experience this Neofacism you speak of. Are you sure your not talking about Moscow? How come you don't spell Kyiv properly?

> How come you don't spell Kyiv properly? Both spellings are proper. Edit - should revise somewhat. Has to do with slight differences between Russian, modern Ukrainian and older Ukrainian, as well as changes to how Ukrainian is transliterated.

Not sure why this got downvoted. He did question the veracity of the OPs claims, but did it in a pretty polite way.

  Spelling it 'Kiev' is the 'Russian' way. Good Ukrainians spell it 'Kyiv', because that's how the Ukrainian nationalists do it. Also, there's no fascists in Ukraine, if you ask Ukrainian nationalists. Asking if he's talking about Moscow is akin to calling him a Russian shill. The propaganda is strong in modern Ukraine - don't dare question the new pro-west narrative. Never mind the fact that Poroshenko has a lower approval rating than Yanukovych did (still can't touch Yushchenko's 3% approval rating though).

    > Good Ukrainians spell it 'Kyiv', because that's how the Ukrainian nationalists do it. Not really, that's how it's tranliterated from Ukrainian. "Kiev" is a transliteration from Russian.
