Isn't there some legitimacy to Russia's claims that the new ruling government is made up of fascists, anti-semites, and russophobes?

NPR recently had a speaker that denied this calling it Russian propaganda and I bought that but today I saw that the guardian mentions in the article at http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/28/ukraine-genuine... , that there does seem to be a very strong ultra rightest component to it in the Svodoba party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svoboda_(political_party) .

So far, members of the Svodoba are "deputy prime minister for EU integration, interior, justice, energy, infrastructure, defense, culture, social issues,". According to wikipedia, these guys were initially inspired by the Nazis. So apparently, literally fascists.

The protesters fought against corruption and cronyism, but was their fight hijacked by these Svodobans?
