Russian gymnast Ivan Kuliak wore a “Z” on his uniform in apparent support of Russian troops at a competition last week.
The 20-year-old from Kaluga, Russia, took home the bronze medal in parallel bars at the Apparatus World Cup in Doha, Qatar — an event in which Ukranian Illia Kovtun won first place — and could be seen with the “Z” on his chest on the podium.
“Z” has emerged as a way for Russian politicians, influencers and activists to show support for Vladimir Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Latin insignia has been seen on tanks and other military vehicles in the invasion, and merchandise with the “Z” is for sale through Russia Today, a state-funded Russian outlet.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) said in a statement it plans to discipline Kuliak for the wardrobe decision.

We’ll just have to cancel “Z” from the alphabet.
How do they know it wasn’t for Zorro?
Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.
Please explain what Z means in the way that it is being used.
There are several theories floating around...
1. Za pobedu (“for victory”)
2. Zapad (”west”)
3. Zelenskiy (as in “defeat Zelenskiy”). This one seems most unlikely, IMO..
Russian athletes show more support for their nation’s troops than many present-day Americans one.

What I have noticed in the pictures is that Russian military vehicles in Ukraine have “Z” on them.
In America, it’s
N|
since we’re sideways to Moscow
Ask Ivan actually supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine, maybe he should be wearing a different uniform.
Z are the southern Russian units
Z in a box are the units out of Crimea
O are the ones out of Byelorussia
V are the marines
X are the Roman Kadriov Chechens (real bad dudes)
A are the Spetnaz
I’ve been assuming that it was “Z” for Zelenskyy.
see post #12
You may also recognize the “OK” symbolism in this next video about colours being a white nationalism symbol
The main letters used are V, O, and Z.
The Ukraine’s president is Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy. Hmm, what are his initials?
It’s pretty obvious (not just to me) that Putin is trying to play mind games with the Ukraine president.
We have all become not-Zs.
Too lazy to just google "Z" for yourself?
