And those fascist forces who rule in Kiev."<br/> <br />The Pro-Russian billboards are easy to spot and not subtle.<br/> <br />They compare the government in Kiev to Nazis.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) SEVASTOPOL RESIDENT, TATIANA VALINTENKO, SAYING:<br/> <br />"I can only be in favor of billboards telling us that fascism should not enter here. We see what is happening in Kiev."<br/> <br />But not everyone wants Ukr
