Abstract
The author discusses the role of radical groups in the Euromaidan protest movement. She argues that extraparliamentary right-wing groups have partially displaced the Svoboda party through their actions during the protest. She also shows that during the Maidan protest, the right-wing groups maintained a truce with left-wing groups based on their shared opposition to the Yanukovych government.
