She was a candidate in the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, nominated by the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, which she has chaired since 1996. In the Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2002 her party won 3.22% of the votes. She was a presidential candidate in 1999, when she won 11% of the votes to finish in 4th place. In the 2004 elections, however, she finished in fifth place and received less than 5% of the vote.
On October 2, 1999, Vitrenko was attacked and wounded following a campaign rally when two unknown assailants threw two hand grenades at a crowd gathered outside one of her campaign events.[1]
Natalia Vitrenko was again nominated by the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine as candidate for the Ukrainian presidential election, 2010[2] but the CECoU (Central Election Commission of Ukraine) refused to register her for failure to pay the required 2.5 million hryvnya nomination deposit. Vitrenko did not agree with the refusal, submitted a complaint to the judge and before his very eyes tore down the Ukrainian constitution as a protest. On November 11, 2009, Vitrenko said: "Ukraine is condemned either to collapse, or to make a revolution. To Ukrainian government, Constitution of Ukraine is nothing but toilet paper." Vitrenko's 1999 campaign was characterized by the Ukrainian Weekly as "fierce populism, nostalgia for the Soviet era, and strong anti-Western sentiments".[3]
Vitrenko is a member of the Eurasian Youth Union.[6]
The Eurasian Youth Union (Russian: Евразийский союз молодёжи; ESM) is a Russian anti-European political organization, the youth wing of the Eurasia Party headed by Aleksandr Dugin. The organization has branches in several countries. The Government of Ukraine has branded the ESM as an extremist, anti-Ukrainian organization, convicted of a string of vandalism offenses and banned it in Ukraine.[1]
Alexandr Gelyevich Dugin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ге́льевич Ду́гин; born 7 January 1962) is a Russian political scientist known for his fascist views[3] and calls to hasten the "end of times" with all out war.[4][5][6][7][8] He has close ties with the Kremlin and the Russian military,[9][10] having served as an advisor to State Duma speaker and key member of the ruling United Russia party Sergei Naryshkin.[11]
Dugin was the leading organizer of the National Bolshevik Party, National Bolshevik Front, and Eurasia Party. He is the author of more than 30 books, among them Foundations of Geopolitics and The Fourth Political Theory and is very well known in Traditionalist circles around the world, where he is frequently invited as a lecturer.
He focuses on the restoration of the Russian Empire through the unification of Russian-speaking territories, which roughly corresponds to the former Soviet republics, such as Georgia and Ukraine, and unification with Russian-speaking territories, especially eastern Ukraine and Crimea.[12][13] In the Kremlin, Dugin represents the "war party", a division in the heart of the leadership concerning Ukraine,[14] and is seen as the driving conceptual force behind Vladimir Putin’s initiative for the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.[15] According to his geopolitical views, he considers the war between Russia and Ukraine to be inevitable and appeals for Putin to start military intervention in eastern Ukraine.[15]
Believing that the so-called fifth column has been working for two decades to destroy Russia's sovereignty from the inside, he proposed in 2014 to strip all dissidents, including musician Andrei Makarevich, from their Russian citizenship and deport them from the country.[16]

Yup.. no wingnuts there...
By the way he is a nationalist-socialist = Nazi, albeit it of the National Bolshevist Variety.
Also I don't believe she is a currently active member in any branch of the Ukrainian government.

I found this on liveleak, this woman puts it out there on Poroshenko is doing,and how dangerous it is for Ukraine's democracy. I fear if she is right,that all is lost in Ukraine now. They are gearing up for WW3 whether anyone else wants it or not. But this is very informative,as she goes into what the economic cost has been,and how this will effect Ukraine's constitution. I will leave it to you to decide on how you feel about what she is saying.
