apparently z means “ruzzia” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
at first i thought zionism RIP
Ok first of all, Nazism was never fully defeated thanks the the West not denazifying properly after WW2 and then spreading it to post Soviet countries and the Middle East after the the fall of the USSR.
Second of all, communism was never truely defeated as there are still communist countries out there, and for the rest of us it lives on in our hearts.

Z
Zee?
Zed?
Izzard?
Did everyone already forget the “Z” symbols on Russia’s vehicles at the beginning of the invasion? Wtf
Isn’t it basically holocaust denial to compare modern Russia to the Nazis?
Far less offensive than comparing the Soviet Union to the Nazis.
Yes
Yeah, this isn’t some made up lib stuff, Russian armed forces were literally marking themselves with a Z. The tweet is of course dumb still.
Seriously. This is some worrying historical illiteracy being displayed here.
Sometimes I wonder if it is people just being willfully obtuse. Like, a random twitter user not getting it I understand, but given the absolute shitton of posts about the war on here you’d think people would recognize it.
It would be like discussing the Vietnam war and calling people nerds for knowing who “Charlie” is or something.
Ah, but you are assuming that most people are engaging with the discussion to add something or to learn. The majority of the time people are just flapping their lips to sound knowledgeable and authoritative about it and thus feed their ego. It doesn’t matter if they actually are, only that they think they are and come across to other ignoramuses that they are.
Redditor
do that but we try our best to deliberately call out that behavior when we see ithow did you get that out of someone asking what something means?
This is the first I’ve ever heard of Zs being used on Russian vehicles. I’ve never spent long enough examining any of the war footage in detail to go like “oh there’s a little letter Z painted on that tank”, at most I might think “the tank is painted with some markings to identify it” and move on to whatever the actual focus of the picture was.
It wasn’t just used on the vehicles that you could see in grainy war footage. It has been widely used in both pro and anti russian demonstrations for the last 3 years as a symbol for the war. How about instead of instantly assuming that someone you disagree with is inherently wrong about everything and trying to clown on them you look it up?
At worst this is just an example of the “oh, you think posting about milk is racist”
shit. It isn’t really a subtle symbol at all, it is at about the same level as using watermelons for Palestine.Then either you’ve been living under a rock, are very young, or the algorithm of the platforms you use has not been showing you that, because it’s been openly used as a marking on their military vehicles since day 1 of the Ukraine invasion, and has become a symbol for both sides of propaganda.
Or when you spent “long enough researching in detail” you somehow missed the Wikipedia page for it (first result in Kagi and third in DDG for “Z symbol” - link doesn’t render properly on some clients because it has parentheses)
What? The whole half year of the invasion was spend with ruzzia and omg z is the new swastika (it isnt)
I don’t not believe this is a thing, I’m mainly bewildered at how I managed to never hear of this at all until now. Apparently I don’t hang out in the right parts of the internet to have seen this, from my recollection the first 6 months of the war was mainly people adding the Ukraine flag to their usernames and spamming it everywhere, plus some grainy footage on r/CrazyFuckingVideos etc.
They were just honoring Zelensky
I thought he was already defeated by Tank.
is anti western civilisationI thought it meant Zelenskyy. Literally the only Z I could think of.
why do you think i post z?
You’re sleepy
shhh… that’s right, lie down sleepy-head
The ’Z’ symbol is commonly associated in Russia with the ongoing military action in Ukraine as some of the troops participating in the operation had been seen marking their heavy equipment and vehicles with it. It is also considered to be a sign of support for Moscow’s operation and the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.

People who support Russia use the letter Z as a logo/symbol. Ukraine flag NATO twitter posters also refers to Russian people with the letter Z. The Z symbol does not come from “ruzzia” as OP said. “ruzzia” was made up by libs after they saw the Russian military photos.
The YourAnonCentral twitter account is a huge lib and honestly this post is mild in comparison to their other posts, in terms liberalism. Try to make sense of their post below.
this is advanced
