Is spelling Russia with “z” supposed to be cute or some insider signal?

“spelling Russia with “z” “

Ruzzian - Alternative spelling of Russian.
Noun
Ruzzian (plural Ruzzians)

ETYMOLOGY
Neologism [new word, expression] following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Ruzzian is a blend of Russian +‎ Z, using the Russian Z SYMBOL as substitute in Russian propaganda against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It may also be considered a etymology parody for Russian. :)

When they spell it that way, it lets you know the poster is a Zeeper.
