Among Russian “philosophers of war”, a “new trend” has appeared in recent days: such “iconic characters” as Sergei Markov and Alexander Dugin have proposed abandoning the Latin letters “Z” and “V” as symbols of Russian aggression in Ukraine, declaring this “marketing course” last year as “a striking example of the weakness of Russian official propaganda”, stating that “everyone understands that this is an unsuccessful symbol. Therefore, no one admits that he was the author of this symbol”. These arguments about “saving the fate” of the aggressor by replacing letters are not new, and what is noteworthy here is the rather violent “stage of denial” on this matter from second-rate Crimean collaborators.
The criminal “Crimean senator of the old flood” Oleg Tsarev, as well as serving the aggressor the “Sevastopol political scientist” Oleg Nikolaev and the “chairman” of the fake “center for political education” in Simferopol, a former functionary of the supposedly “democratic projects” created before the occupation of the peninsula, Ivan Mezyukho, hastened to “speak out against”.
More “fatty fish,” including the criminal “speaker” Konstantinov, who earlier on another occasion demanded to “ban the Latin alphabet”, are now “silent” in anticipation of a new portion of Kremlin instructions; however, it is obvious that after the failure with icons, relics and crosses, the next “strategic move” of the aggressor in trying to retain Crimea could be “replacing symbols”.
