A parliamentarian and member of the Fatherland party, Parubiy had a prominent role on the ground during the Euromaidan protests as so-called commander of the protest camp.
Parubiy was active in the struggle for Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union, which was achieved in 1991, and was one of the leaders of the 2004 Orange Revolution.

What the Guardian fail to mention here is that Parubiy is a founder member (with Oleh Tyahnybok) of the Social-National Party of Ukraine (which became Svoboda), he joined Fatherland in 2012

Here is the Guardian's description of Tetyana Chernovil
Another prominent activist who was rewarded, or compensated, for being beaten during the protests, Chernovil, 34, rose to fame for her investigations into top Ukrainian politicians and oligarchs. Two of her most renowned pieces of research were on the alleged organised crime connections of one of Ukraine's most wealthy businessmen, Rinat Akhemetov, and the Yanukovych's lavish countryside estate, Mezhyhirya, on the outskirts of Kiev.
When Yanukovych fled Ukraine, Chernovil posted on her Facebook page that she had been among the first to enter a property that she had investigated from the outside for so long.
During the Euromaidan protests, of which she was a vocal part, Chernovil's car was rammed off the road and she was badly beaten by her assailants. At the time police claimed the attack had been motivated by "road rage" but Chernovil dismissed the claim as "ridiculous" and said the assault was clearly linked to her work. Her precise role in government remains unclear.
This neglects to mention she was a member of the antisemitic neo-nazi UNA-UNSO militia

The ambiguity is not real: it's obfuscation.

I agree. In fact I think I said so in the title of the thread I started about this topic.
