Far-right Politics In Ukraine
During Ukraine's post-Soviet history, the far-right has remained on the political periphery and been largely excluded from national politics since independence in 1991.Melanie Mierzejewski-Voznyak: ''The Radical Right in Post-Soviet Ukraine''. In: ''The Oxford Handbook of the Radical Right'' (Ed. Jens Rydgren). Oxford University Press, 2018, p861 doi:10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190274559.013.30. Unlike most Eastern European countries which saw far-right groups become permanent fixtures in their countries' politics during the decline and fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the national electoral support for far-right parties in Ukraine only rarely exceeded 3% of the popular vote.Melanie Mierzejewski-Voznyak: ''The Radical Right in Post-Soviet Ukraine''.

Ukrainian Volunteer Battalions
Ukrainian volunteer battalions (, more formally , or abbreviated ) were militias and paramilitary groups mobilized as a response to the perceived state of weakness and unwillingness of the regular Armed Forces to counter rising separatism in spring 2014.

The earliest of these volunteer units were later formalized into military, special police and paramilitary formations in a response to Russian military intervention in Ukraine. Most of the formations were formed or placed under command of government agencies of Ministry of Internal Affairs — as " Special Tasks Patrol Police" — and Ministry of Defence — as " Territorial defence battalions". There was minority of battalions that were independent. Most of the Battalions initially didn't receive money from the government and were self-funded, some were backed by Ukrainian oligarchs while others received donations or started int ...

Chechen–Russian Conflict
The Chechen–Russian conflict (russian: Чеченский конфликт, ''Chechenskiy konflikt''; ce, Нохчийн-Оьрсийн дов, ''Noxçiyn-Örsiyn dov'') was the centuries-long conflict, often armed, between the Russian (formerly Soviet) government and various Chechen forces. The recent phase of the conflict started after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and lasted until 2017. Formal hostilities in Chechen date back to 1785, though elements of the conflict can be traced back considerably further. The Russian Empire initially had little interest in the North Caucasus itself other than as a communication route to its ally the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti (eastern Georgia) and its enemies, the Persian and Ottoman Empires, but growing tensions triggered by Russian activities in the region resulted in an uprising of Chechens against the Russian presence in 1785, followed by further clashes and the outbreak of the Caucasian War in 1817.
