CyberBerkut (Template:Lang-ru, Template:Lang-uk) — is a modern organized group of pro-Russian hacktivists . The group became locally known for a series of publicity stunts and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on Ukrainian government, and western or Ukrainian corporate websites .
Background
The group emerged after the dissolution of special police force "Berkut" that came as a consequence of the violent repression used during the EuroMaidan demonstrations .

Their proclaimed goals are fighting against neo-fascism, neo-nationalism and arbitrary power in Ukraine . To further this aim, CyberBerkut activists targeted the “Right Sector” IT resources . CyberBerkut's symbols resemble that of the "Anonymous" group . The prefix "cyber" probably alludes to working in the cyberspace (the Internet) .
