Consider the list of people interviewed about Revolution of Dignity - Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yanukovych (Putin's stooge, who was supposed to win election through electoral meddling and hacking which failed spectacularly live on stage), concentrating the idea of Ukrainian nationalism to start with Cossacks instead of Kievan Rus (a "viking" state centered around Kyiv, the other "viking" state being Novgorod of old).
Also, as much as I hate Azov battalion it's ~600 people today (vs. much smaller numbers in 2014), not some giant unit.
It also peddles conspiracy theories about US involvement, when the reality was that West might have provided observers that helped prevent electoral meddling (I'd give credit to Ukrainians, honestly), the history of western involvement in Russia-Ukraine war since 2014 till quite recently was mostly pushing Ukraine into appeasement.
