Putin caught in a lie... Zelenskyy next level trolling that Ross would be proud if.
I'm telling you.. the Z is becoming a fascist symbol.
z = victory apparently in Russian.![]()
Actually no, nobody knows what Z stands for – the origin are the markings on many of the invading vehicles to prevent friendly fire, but there are other letters in use too, like V, O and X. These are Latin letters not used in the Russian alphabet. But yeah, Russians are now trying to turn Z into some kind of symbol of patriotism, even though no one knows what the hell it means. Witness Maria Butina (the former American gun lobby honeypot who was jailed and expelled from the States for spying and is now a member of the Russian Duma) showing how to draw it on a lapel:
I agree with you on the origins. But Russia have turned it into a 'symbol' which is spreading.
Even their spokespeople are peddling it means victory.
I know.. perhaps you could confirm what some have said though. That 3 is the equivalent Z in the Cryllic alphabet, which in lower case is sometimes switched to zWell, maybe they are now trying to redefine it as a symbol of victory, but as a native Russian speaker I can assure you a Latin Z has no built-in meaning for us.

And victory starts with the 3 letter.
Russian Defense Ministry equivocally replied
The Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement saying that Z means victory and V means power of truth. Apart from this, the meaning of O, X and A is not given. However, the meaning of Z and V given by the Russian Defense Ministry is also questionable. Now military experts have claimed that these letters have been written according to the respective areas of the Russian army. This identifies the trains to which command they belong to.
Ah.. I just googled further. I missed a part.
Their 'official' explanation is it means 'for the victory' which does apparently use the 3 as the first letter?
It's all propaganda bullshit anyway.
I'm only repeating what I've read bud. If I type for the victory into Google translate it comes up with за победу / za pobeduThat doesn't make sense either.

Oh and it's fake. The real story was about teachers, and the hat was smaller.
