'Restoring order' far-right style

It's just over four years since the climax of the so-called Maidan revolution in Ukraine.

Months of street protests ended with a violent crackdown by the security forces, which lead to pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych fleeing the country into exile.

In the elections that followed, Ukrainian far right movements, which had been prominent in the protests - were expected to do well but failed to make much of an impact.

Now, with a new vote due in 2019, they're increasing their visibility again – and one controversial group in particular has caught the public eye: The National Militia.
