But you are passing judgement on the other 90% of the Ukrainian because of the views of this minority.
I would like to see where I have said something like this. I'm waiting for my quote or your apologies, you choose.
I called the Svoboda a right wing party, I accept they are extremists, but I wouldn't put them in the same place of the right sector. Anyway, they got about 10% votes on the last elections.
Nobody cares about their share neither in the government nor in the parliament. The important thing is that is actually being done by the government. Now they're putting pressure against journalists, presidential candidates and opposition parties.
The Svododa has 5 elements on the Ukrainian Government that has 21 members, that is hardly a majority:
I'm rolling on the floor because of laughing, who cares about elections or share?

They
are in the "government" and parliament now, that's enough. It's not a democracy, if you forgot about that.
Share is irrelevant, because lesser number of seats could be easily compensated using physical violence:

One MP is able to cast five votes:

Opposition parties could be removed from the parliament:

You said he had "serious reasons" and his measures were necessary, but well I'm going to take your word on that. But, have no doubts, everyone that reads you will think like me.
I've said what I said. You'll be surprised, but I don't care how and who would think while reading this message. I'm not a presidential candidate, and we are not participants of the TV show. And you are wrong when saying something like this:
He was warned by many people. Sorge gave him the actually date of the German attack. He didn't believe anyone.
Let me guess, you're not very good at playing chess?

You shouldn't think so narrowly when it comes to managing a state. What makes you think that he didn't believe the received information? Of course he believed, but he couldn't do anything.
- If USSR would have made the first move, then Hitler would have an ideological advantage. This is very important. Then he would be able to sign an agreement on mutual assistance with US or anybody else and this would strengthen his positions.
- If the troops would be deployed near the border, this would be interpreted as preparation for the invasion, giving the same ideological advantage.
You will be surprised, but we see the same situation right now. Obama along with his puppets would like very much to see, how Russia occupies Ukraine. They are continuously put the blame on Putin for invasion to east regions, troops near the border, etc. They're are using fake evidences, old photos as the "proofs" and attacking own troops in the friedly fire.
Similar things were seen on the western soviet borders in 1940-1941:
http://podvig.gpk.gov.by/article/history_border_services/border_on_the_eve_of_war/So the best option is simply ignore all provocations, don't do anything and wait for the first move. Just like Putin does right now.
He decapitated the red army on 1937-1938. And contrary to the usual histories, the decimation didn't stop there. Many officers that had experience on the spanish civil war and the war with Japan of 1938-1939 were also removed.
Of course he did all these things.
Yes, his forced industrialization has led to famine, from which many people have died.
Yes, a lot of stupid things with the elimination of personnel was done. Such as Vavilov, for example.
Yes, a lot of people were suffered from the repressions because of false denunciations.
So what? On the contrary we see:
Without industrialization USSR would be incapable to fight with anyone, occupation of the entire european part of territory would require less than few weeks.
Without personnel cleanings a new revolution would have occurred.
As they say about managers "method is irrelevant, but the result is important". Are you disagree? Or, maybe, you would prefer to see an occupation of entire european part of USSR territory in the 40s? In the latter case I am sorry, but this is not an acceptable option.
