The U.S. has more excuses to back down than Russia does. Ukraine is Russia's backyard, and any instability there is a direct threat to Russia's security, unlike the thousands-of-miles-away USA.
Were NATO to penetrate Ukraine in any form, Russia would view it as an act of aggression against itself. And then you'd have a WW3 without a doubt.

Yes, precisely. I'm as much of a leader of a country as Turchynov is.

I'll agree with your statement if you show me BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, etc. reports of far-right groups in the opposition from early December. Because that's when news about them started appearing in Russian media.
