«This is the message left on my floor by anonymous» defenders of the motherland «. At least subscribe, otherwise my fans from SERB, they say, left for their homeland — I don’t even know now who to think about, ”Ivanov wrote.
Later, she published a similar photo in her Telegram channel activist Olga Misik.
The letter Z has become a symbol of the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine. Before the start of the war, it, as well as the letter V, was noticed on the sides of Russian equipment near the border with Ukraine, and Z was much more common. The researchers assumed that Z and V are the names of military districts (western and eastern, respectively).
After the «special operation» began, the letters Z and V began to be used by the Russian authorities to show support for the invasion.
