The ultra-right nationalist political party Svoboda,[21] marginal on the national scale,[22] often invokes the radical Russophobic rhetoric and has sufficient electoral support to form factions in several municipal and provincial local councils in Western Ukraine. The Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, saw a rise in anti-Russian sentiment with protests nationwide in Ukraine, far right group known as Right Sector saw a surge in popularity. Odessa Clashes which started when a pro-Russian mob of 300 armed with bats and firearms attacked a pro-Ukrainian rally and shot dead two people[23][24] resulted in the death of 46 pro-Russian activists who were against the Euromaidan movement. After the Ukrainian Revolution the government tried to curb the use of Russian language by banning imports of books from Russia in February, 2017 which had accounted for up to 60% of all titles sold in Ukraine.[25] On May 23, 2017, the Ukrainian parliament approved the law that most broadcast content should be in Ukrainian in order to reduce the amount of Russian speakers. Since then Russian has also been refrained from being taught in schools and many Russian born Ukrainians cannot speak their native language.
