No, it has not.
Presidential and parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine following the 2014 revolution. They were internationally monitored and judged to be largely fair.
The right / far right parties Svoboda and Right Sector between them obtained 7 parliamentary seats out of 450. They had no representation in the government. I can't speak for what journalists were "instructed" to call them, lol.
not with a bunch of rabid partisans and pit bulls like Andrew Weisman on the probe.
It's a witch hunt, always has been a witch hunt as the judge ( TS Ellis) said about the Manafort investigation
It's not Russia that's pushed Ukraine to the brink of war

The reality is that, after two decades of eastward Nato expansion, this crisis was triggered by the west's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defence structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement. Its rejection led to the Maidan protests and the installation of an anti-Russian administration – rejected by half the country – that went on to sign the EU and International Monetary Fund agreements regardless.
No Russian government could have acquiesced in such a threat from territory that was at the heart of both Russia and the Soviet Union. Putin's absorption of Crimea and support for the rebellion in eastern Ukraine is clearly defensive, and the red line now drawn: the east of Ukraine, at least, is not going to be swallowed up by Nato or the EU.
"America is with you," Senator John McCain told demonstrators then, standing shoulder to shoulder with the leader of the far-right Svoboda party as the US ambassador haggled with the state department over who would make up the new Ukrainian government.
When the Ukrainian president was replaced by a US-selected administration, in an entirely unconstitutional takeover, politicians such as William Hague brazenly misled parliament about the legality of what had taken place: the imposition of a pro-western government on Russia's most neuralgic and politically divided neighbour.
What is the evidence that Chinese hackers attempted to interfere in the 2016 election? Is it, for example, more than ZERO?
It's called a revolution, anatta. The American colonies had one, remember?
The presidential and parliamentary elections that followed - in May and October 2014 - were judged legitimate by monitors from more than 20 countries. The "neo-nazis" obtained seven seats out of 450 and had no part in the government.
Don't believe everything globalresearch tells you. They hate the west, especially the US.

Note my apathy
Yes, those evil Canadians at Globalresearch hate us!
I understand the rightwing has an enduring hostility to democracy and human rights.
We have no right to interfere and directly meddle in Russian elections. That is true.
We do have the right - no, we have the obligation - to advocate for all humans on behalf of the basic human right to genuine representative government, and free and fair elections. And that includes Russia, and within our own country.
That office in Montreal is just a front, C.O. Those chossudovskies get everywhere! Especially RT, Sputnik, and the like.

Good for them!
Don't expect the lying maggot to reply.
Must defend Putin
Chinese hacked our election?

Flint, Michigan still doesn't have clean water. Is that Russia's fault?
Our infrastructure is crumbling. Is that Russia's fault?

it was a revolution we manipulated.
Why do you think John McCain and Vicky Nuland were in Independence Square Kyiv?
To make sure the maidan became a full scale revolution. That last reference was from The Guardian.
We could not stand the thought of Ukraine in the Russian orbit -and forced the hand of the EU.
It's why Vicky Nuland said "fuck the EU" we don't give a shit about the welfare of the Ukraine-
just our power plays against Russia. The same thing we did with NATO expansion post German reunification.
Russian bailout wins Ukraine economic respite but deepens political rift
Yanukovich reignited demands for his resignation by opponents at home already enraged by his decision to walk away from a trade and political deal with the European Union.
Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Kiev after Yanukovich accepted Putin’s offer on Tuesday to buy Ukrainian bonds and cut the price of Russian gas exports, a deal which keeps Kiev firmly in Moscow’s orbit.
Ukraine urgently needs money to cover an external funding gap of $17 billion next year - almost the level of the central bank’s depleted currency reserves - and avoid defaulting on its debts.
Putin and Yanukovich rubbed shoulders and laughed while documents were signed on reducing trade barriers for Ukraine.
Moscow also offered relief on Kiev’s gas bill. Russia’s Gazprom has slashed the price Ukraine will pay for supplies to $268.5 per 1,000 cubic metres from about $400.
However, the United States warned Kiev the deal would not satisfy the protesters and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said ties with Russia should not prevent Kiev from looking West.

I didn't say the election, I said "Chinese hacking is much more extensive" -and they have compromised our OMB records.
Their espionage is extensive, from university students to Silicon Valley, to Sony, and they regularly steal our military secrets.
Compare that to the Internet Research Agency ( Russia) - it's not even close.
China uses a "1 state" attack on the USA
towards what ends? Jimmy Carters emphasis on human rights was a failure because it violate the core tenant of what a foreign policy should be -realpolitik.
Trump has taken it a step further with his emphasis on a transactional foreign policy-
but even that is based on mutual dealing,and not boycotts or moral outrage
U.S. Cozies Up to Kiev Government Including Far Right
Sen. John McCain waves to pro-European protesters during a mass rally at Independence Square in Kiev in December. Oleh Tyahnybok is seen to his right.
When Sen. John McCain traveled to Kiev in December, he told the crowd of 200,000 on Independence Square: "The free world is with you, America is with you, I am with you."
But among those stood next to the veteran Republican was Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the Svoboda Party. Some policy analysts have called Svoboda ultra-nationalist and even neo-Nazi.
voboda, which means "Freedom," was given almost a quarter of the Cabinet positions in the interim government formed after the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych in February.
The party's policies center around protecting the rights of what it calls “ethnic Ukrainians,” the preservation of the Ukrainian language and culture, and strict controls on immigration.
Although much of the more extreme content has now been removed from Svoboda’s leaflets, the European Parliament passed a resolution on Ukraine in 2012 that asked Kiev not to associate with the party on account of its “racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic views.”
One of the party's lawmakers was appointed to run the powerful defense ministry before being forced out. However, Svoboda still holds one of the vice prime minister posts as well as the ministries of agriculture and the environment. According to Foreign Policy magazine, this represents the largest far-right representation in any government in Europe.

I do not expect you to understand the liberal tradition of defending democracy and human rights. I mean, you voted for Trump.
