Russian ultranationalist have a New Symbol- "Z"

"Z" is a symbol of the new Russian ideology and national identity.

Let's discuss what is happening in Russia. Simply put, it is being absolute fascist. The authorities launched a propaganda campaign to garner popular support for their invasion of Ukraine, and they are reaping the benefits. You can see the "Z" on these guys' clothes.

The "Z" is the letter the Russian military is putting on its vehicles going to Ukraine. Some interpret the "Z" as "za pobedi" (for victory). Others - in the form of "Zapad" (West). Anyway, this symbol, invented just a few days ago, became a symbol of the new Russian ideology and national identity.

It got a lot of supporters. Many Russians are putting a "Z" on their cars - this is completely voluntary and to the best of my knowledge no one is forcing them.

A new symbol of Russia's war against Ukraine has emerged – a white "Z" emblem, stylized in a thick brushstroke. It has found its way onto signs and T-shirts of ultra-right, pro-Russian protesters, is depicted on Russian tanks and military vehicles, and worn as a show of support for the invasion of Russia.

Over the past several weeks, the "Z" has gone from a military marking to a powerful symbol of support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And there are indications that Russian nationalist groups have also associated the sign.

The emblem was first seen on Russian tanks in 22nd February’22

The "Z" emblem was first flashed on Russian military vehicles rolling out to the Donetsk region of Ukraine on February 22.

Twitter commentators speculated that the "Z" symbol, which appears on tanks framed by squares, triangles, and other painted figures, may have been a way of depicting infantry.

The meaning of the emblem has not yet been confirmed by Russian military sources.

Some argue that the Russian people do not support this invasion and that it is Putin's responsibility. Yes, Putin took the decision and came as a surprise to his ministers as well. But once it was taken, it got huge public support. people are cheering, they are proud and enthusiastic.

Russian media and social media accounts that stand for attack often put a Z in their name or logo.

Similarly, a group of Russian nationalist protesters in Leningrad was filmed wearing a hoodie with a white "Z" emblazoned with the words "We do not give up our own". It is not clear when the video was taken, but it surfaced on social media in the first week of March.

The slogan echoes false Russian campaigners' claims that the invasion is meant to "liberate" and "de-Nazify" Ukraine – a freely governed democracy led by a Jewish president.
