Background:
- In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine under mythical propaganda slogans about "demilitarisation and denazification".
- By committing war crimes against civilians in many occupied Ukrainian cities, the Russians contributed to the emergence of a new term – "Ruscism".
- In a video address on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism on 8 May, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the parade of fear on Red Square in Russia would feature columns of tanks, marching formations of killers and a disguised crowd.
