Vatnik (Russian: ватник, pronounced [ˈvatʲnʲɪk]) is a political pejorative used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government.

This is Kama's tweet about the begining of NAFO

A tankie is originally a British communist, a jingoist, who believed in the Kremlin line and agreed with sending Soviet tanks to Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. Hence, “tankie”. In the 2000s, tankie became internet slang and a political slur for - often Western - communists and supporters of militaristic anti-capitalist extreme Left.

Not sharknado but Sharknafo.

In June 2023, a Russian tourist was eaten alive by a shark off a beach at an Egyptian resort in Hurghada.

Short Definition

Russia has for years fostered close ties to various extreme right movements and has its own neo-Nazi groups. Russia has served as a meeting point for extreme right populists. For example, in 2015, representatives of several European parties participated in the "International Russian Conservative Forum". Extreme left, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be able to let go of its old illusions of Russia as an anti-imperialist power.
